...Gigi begins to listen to him, and as he schools her on the ways of men - like Henry Higgins crossed with Dr. Phil - she grows fond of him. Which gives her ideas, because she is the sweetest little romantic fool who ever lived. In Big Love as Margene, Goodwin has shown she's a master of the marvelously naive. Gigi makes Margene seem as canny as Hillary Clinton. Every woman in this film gets her head pushed into the proverbial flushing toilet at least once, but poor Gigi has the distinction of being the most humiliated of them all. Somehow...
...Besides his ability to draw big names - producer Drew Barrymore also wanders through, simpering - director Ken Kwapis can include fairness in his skill set. Pedro Almodovar would have picked sides (the women's, undoubtedly) and made you love them all. Cameron Crowe successfully endeared us to both sexes in Singles.

If it's the latter, you might as well just take a nice relaxing bath in your...
...many silly waterslides or Mafia museums or cranberry subsidies in its text. Instead, Congress will dole out hundreds of billions of dollars to states and agencies. But that's where the real waste is going to be. There's $30 billion for highways, funneled through state transportation departments, which love to build unsustainable sprawl roads to nowhere. There's $4.5 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers, which is addicted to projects that destroy wetlands and induce development in vulnerable floodplains. There's $14 billion for school modernization, $100 million for rural business loans, $8.4 billion in "state- and tribal...
