...able to get, like Elvis Costello, that we do. More than anything, they serve the purpose of a character in a musical, where this character's voice makes the most sense. I mean, what if Darth Vader had spoken in that regular dude's voice? You needed James Earl Jones. Certain lines need to be conveyed in certain ways...

It's sneering and unwatchably badly written; it shoots at fish in a barrel and still manages to miss. On NBC's My Name Is Earl, by comparison, Jaime Pressley's Joy may be a moron, but she's an interesting one, with a kind of admirably feral greed. Blair's Kim is just a cartoon idiot. ("It's over!" she declares about her marriage. "O-V-U-R!") If you can't even make your...

...French Mission for Food Heritage and Cultures’ strategizing session seem to lack any grip on reality? Elaine Sciolino, a New York Times reporter covering the event, wrote, “By the time the roasted figs, the wine-macerated prunes, the chocolate mousse and the Earl Grey sorbet arrived in the private dining room of Guy Savoy...men were in deep discussion about the magic of their country’s cuisine...
