...Monsters vs Aliens, directed by Rob Letterman (co-director of Shark Tale) and Conrad Vernon (co-director of Shrek 2). The movie imagines that in 1950 the government, fearful that the populace would freak out if it knew that monsters actually existed, put a top-secret plan into effect. General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) herded the lot of misfits into X-file confinement. Waiting for Susan are Dr. Cockroach (Hugh Laurie), the gelatinous B.O.B. (Seth Rogen), the gatory Missing Link (Will Arnett) and a huge, grubby, voiceless Insectosaurus. It's another band of weirdo-heroes to follow...

This way Barak stays in power, and Labor will get the ministries of defense, agriculture, industry, trade and welfare. But the cost has been high. One respected columnist, Ben Caspit in Maariv, wrote, "The Labor Party signed its own death certificate...

In response to growing fears both in Washington and along the border that Mexican drug violence is spilling over to U.S. soil - Attorney General Eric Holder recently called the cartels a "national security threat" - the Obama Administration on Tuesday unveiled a border-security plan that will put more than 500 federal agents in border states.
