Washington, they say, is dismissive of the informed views of the people who actually live on the land, and whose lives are most directly affected: whose school budgets are devastated and whose towns are likely to be closed down by the romantic, clueless environmentalism of elitist urbanites and ignorant pantheists...
Last week nine strangers equipped with scant food and a gallon of water among them were deposited on an uninhabited, mosquito-infested island off the Florida Keys, clueless as to when they'd be leaving. No, it wasn't the first episode of Survivor II, but rather the second attempt of Cuban baseball slugger ANDY MORALES to reach U.S. soil.

The assumption--here as in Woody Allen's Everyone Says I Love You--is that singing and dancing are not so much skills...
