...jolted open every few seconds by the shock of manufactured cleavage, they are offering me a beer. Not even a light beer. All I wanted was to see a nice Cirque du Soleil show, work my expense account at Le Cirque with my only famous friend, Robert Goulet, and crash at the new hotel at Mandalay Bay, where my standard room has two bathrooms and three flat-screen TVs. But New Vegas won't let me be. It needs to show me what a great time it's having, with its supersized, sanitized, non-intimidating version of the same sins...

Condom funding is down, education programs in schools have ended, and the media campaign has all but disappeared. At the same time, other avenues of infection--such as drug users sharing needles...

Bank robbing wasn't an exact science in 1933, and watching the bad guys figure it out as they go along makes for nonstop comedy. They flood their engines, shoot themselves, crash their cars and steal sacks of mail instead of money. Once, John Dillinger discovered that his wheelman had parallel parked the getaway car; he had to make an Austin Powers--style multipoint turn before he could peel out. The G-men weren't much better.

But if it weren't for our troops fighting in numerous wars, we might not have the freedoms we have today and America could have become a country like Iraq. The war on terrorism started the day al-Qaeda decided to crash planes into buildings, killing thousands of Americans. I do not blame Bush for this, and I stand by him 100%. If we didn't go to Iraq and stand up for our country, that would give other terrorists an opportunity to attack America. It is disrespectful not to fight...
