...Funny how the holidays are always so stressful for Bruce. 3. Lethal Weapon—Mel Gibson rocks the mullet, and his partner Danny Glover decides not to commit suicide in the end. I’m all for not killing yourself over the holidays: instead, deflect that anger outward by watching extremely violent movies like this one. 4. Batman Returns—Michelle Pfeiffer makes a much better Catwoman than Halle Berry. 5. Reindeer Games—This is actually a terrible movie, but Ben Affleck robs a casino dressed in a Santa outfit. Bonus: Ghostbusters II?...

Some also fear that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, which India has long accused of training and funding terror operations across India and South Asia, may activate sleeper cells in India and elsewhere to deflect attention from events in Pakistan.

But just when it was beginning to seem that her evasions were more potent than her opponents' assaults, she stumbled - badly, perhaps - on the question of granting driver's licenses to illegal...
...Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles for U.S. troops in Iraq. There is no doubt such heavy-duty vehicles are needed. Improvised-explosive devices account for more than half the U.S. fatalities in Iraq; and the characteristic V-shaped hulls of these vehicles are engineered to deflect blasts from roadside bombs away from the troops within. So the push is on to get the MRAPs to Iraq as quickly as possible. The 2,400 the Marines bought Thursday will be delivered by April - at the speed of light, in Pentagon contracting terms...
