...Fast Food Nation Fox Searchlight Directed by Richard Linklater 1 Star If “Super-Size Me” is the documentary version of street-corner proselytizing against evil corporate junk food, “Fast Food Nation” is its object-lesson counterpart, tediously preaching to the proverbial choir. Director Richard Linklater’s much-anticipated feature film “Fast Food Nation” is not a documentary. Rather, it is a fictional account that dramatizes the nonfiction book by the same name, written by Eric Schlosser, the film’s co-author...
...Gwen never seems to take herself too seriously, and thankfully, neither does this video.

Hoff sent a high cross to Altchek just outside the 18-yard box, and Altchek’s subsequent header landed at Akpan’s feet.But the Bruins’ lightning fast defense reacted immediately, shifting two defenders to cover Akpan and deflecting his shot from beyond the 18-yard box. The play encapsulated Harvard’s game-long offensive frustration: just as a hole opened up, UCLA’s defense was there to close it. “It?...
...Lamont, raising expectations that the midterms would turn this new generation of online activists into kingmakers. Yet in the midst of a Democratic wave, the netroots candidates failed to sweep, causing some pundits to claim that the netroots' influence continues to be overstated: "The Netroots Election? Not So Fast," editorialized The Nation. When Rick Perlstein tried, in The New Republic, to claim the election as a netroots triumph, Ryan Lizza replied in the magazine's blog that in addition to having the netroots' support, winning candidates also had the national Democratic party to thank, as it "dumped tons of money...
