...saviour. Poor man! You set the bar so high that his attempts to live up to your expectations were doomed to fail. Now you are among his fiercest critics, highlighting his failures almost with a sense of glee. I am not a great Obama fan, but give the guy a chance - he is only human and is trying, as best as he can, to call the right shots. Jacq Krige, PORT ELIZABETH, SOUTH AFRICA...
...love Big Love. I love how it extended the standard HBO series premise - "They're a family... of mobsters, of Roman emperors, of vampires... who fight and stick together like any other family" - into the social and political saga of Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton), an ordinary guy in suburban Salt Lake City who happens to have three wives and a bunch of nutter relatives out in the woods.

"For me the legacy is the way you perform; the performance for me was impressive. I was nervous and fired up and excited," he said after the downhill. (See 25 Winter Olympic athletes to watch...
...guy who has made a career out of maintaining control over his emotions, Woods' apology seemed refreshingly wobbly. The nervous man at the mike was a Tiger Woods many people had never seen before. There was a catch in his voice, and his delivery was tense. The fact that Woods is not a fluent public speaker probably worked in his favor. If sentences like "I'm embarrassed. That I have put you. In this position," sounded a little Terminator-esque, they could be forgiven, given the circumstances. (The setting, with a weird blue "magic show" velvet curtain didn't help...
