Bush broke his promise to restrict carbon-dioxide emissions because of the economic cost. I would like to see his face when he receives the bill for 10 times as much in clean-up costs after floods, droughts, submerging coasts, skin cancer, lost crops, etc. Bush seems to have deluded himself into thinking he is not dumping his garbage in his own backyard, but the weather gods do not respect man-made boundaries. Instead of teaching Americans to respect their planet, he is leading them (and everyone else) to future suffering. SHANNON WALLER Barcelona...
...Hollywood with the explicit intent of becoming famous inevitably end up in AAA meetings, Betty Ford or the adult section at VideoPros. And it’s not just drugs or alcohol—others slip into phobic behavior, sex addictions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, co-dependent relationships, hallucinations, etc. Maybe their mommies didn’t give them enough love. (Hmm, on that note, maybe while I’m off sending Winona Ryder some shampoo—she looks pretty dirty these days—I’ll send Calista Flockhart a teddy bear.) The best part about...
...late-night Showtime. And even though I adore "Jackass," it certainly is not "responsible"-the opening disclaimer is written parodically and the stunts can easily be imitated (set yourself on fire, straddle a skunk, dive into a pile of elephant poop, chase naked midgets around South Central, etc.). Second, the Madonna video-directed by her husband Guy Ritchie-is not only relatively tame, but also profoundly significant. Beautifully photographed and set to an edgy dance-remix of the song, it depicts a battered wife who tears around town bashing into people's cars, robbing men at ATMs and shooting policemen...
...There is the rub: as the exhibition's introductory placards, when they're not re-introducing Mrs. Gardner (what a great dame, look at how devout and open-minded she was, isn't Boston lucky to have had her, etc.), mention that although the figure of the cross does not arise simultaneously with Christianity, it becomes a strikingly powerful image by the Medieval period. So powerful, widely recognized and anticipated, apparently, that even a suggestion of a shape more or less in the cross family evokes the appropriate spiritual response...
...have by now proceeded at warp speed to the next installment (China crisis, market crisis, etc.) George W. Bush is firmly installed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue; he is even ratified in office by a new weekly Comedy Central television sitcom, "That's My Bush!", aimed at persuading us that we have a president who is as moronic as the authors of the show...
