...flashy Freudian face-off like the one that introduces Vesper. Camille too seeks revenge, and admits to Bond with wry satisfaction that she slept with the film’s villain, Dominic Greene (a wonderful Mathieu Amalric), to get closer to the Bolivian general who killed her family. Lest the two spies seem like a dour pair, Haggis and Forster let them off the leash every now and then. Despite Vesper’s painfully felt absence, Bond still lets himself seduce fellow agent Strawberry Fields (no joke), while a tipsy Camille takes pleasure in haranguing Greene in front...
Except for the soft hydraulic whir of expectations being raised, the first week of the Obama transition was a quiet one. Indeed, the big news came from neither Chicago nor Washington but from Detroit and Beijing. In Detroit, General Motors - the stupendously clueless automaker - begged for a bailout lest it go bankrupt, thereby raising the question: If our resources are limited, why should we invest in the failed corporate past rather than in the technologies of the future?

And of course, we threw out all of the free condoms lest a duck or an Isis girl should unfortunately choke...
...lest I forget my personal favorite: the “invisible” status. You know, everyone needs to be invisible every now and then. Maybe you’re trying to avoid that kid who keeps asking you for lecture notes. Or maybe you only want to talk to your “baby boo.” I get that. But don’t go invisible on me in the middle of our conversation! How do I know you didn’t just sign off on me? Are we still talking or not? Going...
