...Olivia Hunt, 34, is a loser. She lost her job at Universal Studios after the movie she worked on--Lloyd, the Hamster--flopped at the box office. Her dream project, a film adaptation of Don Quixote, is going nowhere. Her boyfriend Michael recently bailed on her. And she just noticed a mustache hair on her upper lip. "Jimmy Stewart," she writes to a friend, "had a helluva lot more to live for when he tried to off himself in It's a Wonderful Life...
...Connecticut faced a $2 billion deficit over the next fiscal year (a whopping amount considering the state budget for that period is only $13.5 billion), which put Rowland in an ugly fight with his legislature.

I was horrified by the description of the death of Uday Hussein, which said a soldier "pumped two bullets into Uday's mouth, to ensure his death." This was sickening. I reject the cold-blooded stalking and killing of any human being cornered like an animal, even a murderous dictator and his family. This was an extreme example of American savagery and violence.
