...figure out how to woo Mama Ann, a lifelong liberal in Fort Lauderdale who has been leaning toward John McCain, I called Tennessee's Jewish U.S. Representative Steve Cohen, an early Obama supporter. Cohen's first suggestion was to appeal to the classic Jewish-grandmother soft spots by telling her what terrific schools Obama went to and that he's a lawyer. Then Cohen started working on the commonalities between Obama and Mama Ann. "Barack grew up in Hawaii," Cohen said. "They have lots of beaches." If Cohen really thinks Mama Ann has left her condo...
...directed by Rob Cohen, whose high-hack work includes Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story and The Fast and the Furious, this Mummy movie is really two movies: a good adventure epic, with all the Chinese people, and a wan one, with O'Connells and the other the Westerners.

Now, he says, operating in Jamaica is ''very similar to operating in a small U.S. town.'' Very similar...
...pilgrims are happy to oblige. At a rock concert after the service, they formed conga lines and sang along to Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U." Next day, when the Pope disembarked from a "boat-a-cade" on Sydney Harbor to address the crowds for the first time, the shouts and cheers out-decibeled any rock show...
