...Rachel Maddow, rhymes with shadow. Not Maddow, rhymes with mad cow, which is how her name has been mispronounced by countless guests on Air America Radio's The Rachel Maddow Show, from Michael Moore to Viggo Mortensen. MSNBC hosts Nora O'Donnell and David Gregory (for whom Maddow has served as a regular panelist) have said her name wrong, as have most of her Air America co-workers, including her frequent co-host David Bender and the big-voiced announcer guy who introduces the show each day from 6 to 9 p.m. ET on Air America affiliates, the network...
...This decade he did a swell turn, again under a ton of makeup, as a vengeful ex-con in the Robert Rodriguez-Frank Miller Sin City. On his few forays into late-night talk (one visit with David Letterman sticks in my mind), the host would breathe a sigh of relief to find Rourke roguishly charming; the bull hadn't demolished the china. But mostly his rep kept him MIA. When he came up for the role of Randy, he recalled in Venice, Aronofsky told him: "You're a really great actor, and you've just f--ked up your...

...Sarkozy's two-day stay in Damascus comes in the wake of his controversial decision to host Syria's President Bashar al-Assad as an honored guest at France's Bastille Day celebration on July 14. Sarkozy had campaigned for the presidency on a promise of a move toward human-rights centered foreign policy, and the Syrian leader is hardly a poster boy for the liberty France celebrates on its national day. Indeed, Chirac, hardly an acolyte of the Bush Administration, had been every bit as vehement as Washington on the need to punish Syria over its alleged involvement...
...Sarkozy's Syria visit may prove conveniently prophylactic in other ways, too. In the wake of the Russia-Georgia conflict and Moscow's de facto occupation of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, Assad declared his support of Moscow amid widespread international condemnation. Assad even proposed that Syria host Russian missile systems to counter the interceptor system the U.S. is establishing, over Moscow's objections, in Poland and the Czech Republic. The Russians promised Assad military training and arms sales during his visit to Moscow late last month...
