...sacrificial. The Passion of the Christ is a one-note threnody about the Son of God being dragged to his death. That may be just the ticket for some times and for some benighted places where understanding human torment in terms of God's love is the only religious insight of any use. But in a culture as rich, as powerful, as lucky and as open-minded as ours--one might even say, as blessed--it is, or should be, a very bad fit indeed...
...feminists, be assuaged: My crush on Coulter is less a product of my partiality for blondes than of my admiration for her insight tackling complex constitutional issues and solidly researching points that might at first seem only luridly provocative. (Her best-selling book Slander has over 700 endnotes, as Franken dutifully points out).

...featuring video testimonials of six alleged suicide bombers offers a new insight into who is behind a growing number of deadly attacks in Iraq. TIME has viewed a copy of the disc, which appears aimed at recruiting young men and encouraging resistance against Western and affiliated targets in Iraq. The pictures and sound present harrowing details of attacks against U.S. forces and their allies as well as? ideological rants aimed at the "enemies of Islam." In dramatic footage, six men who are believed to have subsequently carried out suicide attacks talk about their plans and reasons for fighting. Significantly, several...
