...Wilson who, almost three decades ago, founded the Razzies as a sarcastic and satirical counterpoint to the high-minded Academy Awards, throwing a spotlight on the worst of the worst - the movies that, however noble in intent, arrived in theaters as a waste of time and money. The awards program matches the Oscars calendar step for step. Early on Jan. 21, precisely 24 hours before the official Academy Awards nominations, the Razzies will unveil their nominees for Worst Picture, Worst Actor and Worst Actress, as well as finalists in other unconventional categories including Worst Screen Couple and Worst Prequel...
...most surprising of his appointments - Hillary Clinton, the new Secretary of State - has emerged as an exemplar of Obamism. At her confirmation hearing, Clinton seemed completely prepared on every imaginable topic, orderly, undramatic and yet willing to propose some radical changes in the State Department's structure.

(It’s tough to remember at one’s intent to write the sum in cursive to avoid doctoring, when faced with all the numerals above it).The priests/tour guides of a temple in Kolkata pulled this scam as well, although theirs took a more insidious form as they separated me and my fellow traveler to bless us each...
...proposed legislation, SB 39, would enact the Good Samaritan Protection Act, which would amend the current statute to define emergency care as "medical or nonmedical." Referring to the current Good Samaritan statute, Benoit says, "If in fact the intention was just to limit it to medical providers providing medical care, that was too narrow [a piece of legislation] in my estimation, and this case shows it. I don't believe that was really the intent, even if it is in fact the way it's been interpreted. If not, it needs to be changed. We need to clarify that...
