...Hollywood seems to think it has a surefire recipe with “Righteous Kill.” Take two aging but legendary actors of ye olde gangster cinema, mix in rappers, guns, and badges, add a healthy portion of serial-killer storyline, and top it off with a dash of cheap twist ending. But if I really wanted to draw out this clichéd food metaphor, this Al Pacino/Robert De Niro tag-team event would have to be more of a reheated meatloaf than a zesty fettucine alfredo. De Niro and Pacino, two of the most esteemed living...
...front war. Rather, it has to do with what was showcased so brilliantly in St. Paul: her pitbull brand of politics. In particular, the content of the RNC speech—along with her pitch-perfect delivery—was dominated by a combination of massive oversimplification and a dash of jingoism on the side, peppered with arguments that appeal to visceral reactions at the expense of a nuanced stance on the most important issues facing Americans.

But today, with Title IX - the education amendment that allocates funds equally between genders - an entrenched part of American schools, and even Afghan and Omani women competing in the 100m dash, does it make sense to keep a pair of women-only sports in the Olympics...
...front of the field, he could have done a reggae dance and still won. Or hit a Caribbean beach. Maybe chomped on some of those Chicken McNuggets he's so fond of. Instead, near the finish line of the men's 100m dash Saturday night, Usain Bolt - has any sprinter ever had a more appropriate name? - started to celebrate. Bolt spread out his arms and glanced at the crowd. He slapped his chest a few times. And he did it with his shoes untied: his left laces were flopping around at the finish...
