...seems evident, if there was any doubt before, that the Chirac political era is coming to an end. The French public cannot have failed to realize it as they watched the President on television last week drawing lessons, finally, from the revolt in the banlieues. For more than two weeks, while cars and public buildings burned, while police and firemen were attacked, Chirac remained reticent. He looked startlingly out of touch with the chaos around him, and acted as if he was not on the front line, not the wielder of executive power, not the guarantor of the nation...
...bike racks] are full of unused bikes,” he says. “We have bikes that have been locked to the bike racks for longer than the career of a student in Quincy House.”LAZY BIKE OWNERS?But many doubt that more indoor space would lead to less theft, noting that bike owners may just opt for convenience anyway.“Many people don’t use the sheltered, lighted bike racks we have right next to the guard’s office, preferring to hitch their bikes to parking meters...

But there’s no doubt that Romney’s primary motivation for introducing this hopeless bill was not so much to debate the criminal code as it was to appeal to the national conservative electorate that he’ll need to capture the presidency in 2008. The bill only added to Romney’s track...
...again now? Simple—the first film of their new company, aptly named The Weinstein Company, came out last weekend. That film is “Derailed,” and yes, it totally sucks. It would be kind of amusing to see them fail. But I doubt they will, they’re too good at playing the Hollywood Game—screwing people over, stealing their money, making them cry, and then justifying it by saying it’s all in the name of art.
