With his puppy-dog eyes and trademark cowboy hat, 75-year-old Doyle Brunson is one of the most recognizable players on the professional poker circuit. This summer marks the 40th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP), and the Texas native has competed in all but two of them - more than anyone else in the event's history - and racked up 10 championship bracelets, tied for second all-time. On the eve of this year's "Main Event," a $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em tournament which starts July 3, TIME caught up with Brunson to talk...
...sheer complexity of the stimulus measure makes it difficult to bird-dog. Though the Recovery Act was a single piece of legislation, it included thousands of funding streams for tens of thousands of projects. About $144 billion is allocated directly into state coffers for continuing existing programs that have been heavily burdened by the recession, like Medicaid. Hundreds of billions more have been set aside for tax cuts and continuing benefits to the poor and unemployed. The most visible part of the program, and the most politically explosive, is the roughly $152 billion for infrastructure investment, for which...
...articulates them have a robust manliness in David's voice. Rancor is the medicine that keeps Boris alive. It makes him the ideal foil for Melody's cheerful resilience (which Wood winningly captures) and gives him a tart appeal, even when he's condemning the universe as "this cruel, dog-eat-dog, pointless black chaos" and his own film audience as "Neanderthals"--or when he observes that "while a black man got into the White House, he still can't get a cab in New York." Like Molière, Allen and David know there are few spectacles droller than...
...Proposal isn't it - too predictable and schematic by half - but it indicates what a good Sandra Bullock film might be. She plays Margaret Tate, the top-dog editor at a Manhattan publishing company who's so hard, you could skate on her. Margaret routinely humiliates all her co-workers, especially her male assistant, Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds), who stays in the awful job because he wants to be promoted to an editor's job. Fat chance. But now Margaret, a Canadian, is threatened with deportation unless she gets married to a U.S. citizen ... say, her male assistant. Strictly business...
Peterson led a six-week campaign on behalf of Agriculture Committee Democrats and some fiscally conservative, so-called Blue Dog Democrats - a bloc of 45 votes - against two provisions in the bill. Ending a turf war, Waxman - whose committee has jurisdiction over the Environmental Protection Agency - allowed the Agriculture Department, not the EPA, to oversee a potentially lucrative program to create technology to save energy for farmers (Peterson allowed that the Obama Administration could weigh in on the EPA's role in the issue, if any). And Waxman agreed to bar the EPA for five years from calculating how much...
