...Didn't "Dawson" used to showcase new songs? Didn't every episode end with a voiceover going "this episode of Dawson's Creek featured music by" such-and-such a group? I think I remember one episode that had music by Letters to Cleo, which was a pretty decent group to showcase. What happened to all that...
...military families. "There are a lot more pressing issues." Housing, for example: there are 500,000 old and decrepit military housing units needing repair. McCain's plan to reduce the number of troops on food stamps would cost about $6 million annually. Giving military families and individual troops a decent place to live would cost $1 billion annually. Election year or not, that's no cheap applause line...
Deserted by her boyfriend in a Wal-Mart parking lot, the pregnant Novalee Nation (Natalie Portman) takes up residence in the store, where she has her baby. In short order she makes friends (Stockard Channing, Ashley Judd), gets a life (as a photographer) and meets a decent chap (James Frain) she slowly learns to love.

At the end, the comic thrust of the story dictates that they go back...
...failure, but it lacks the sharp sting of reality that made Primary Colors a success. At the center of Colors was Jack Stanton--a faux Bill Clinton as mesmerizing, repellent, glib, eloquent (take your pick) as the real thing. Charlie Martin can't carry that kind of weight. Decent, well-meaning, pragmatic, Charlie returns to his home state after his crash-and-burn presidential bid to run for a third Senate term. But he succumbs to unexpected distractions--including a romance with a glamorous Manhattan designer and the appearance of a previously unknown (surprise, Charlie!) illegitimate son. The most unexpected...
