...Questions, it's hilarious [Aug. 18]? I acknowledge that his new film is a stoner comedy and that he has to promote it to his adoring fans - both teenagers and adults - but why should we find it amusing that Rogen is unabashed about his illegal (not to mention health-damaging) actions? Paige Varner, Albany, Georgia...
...Bush family's gift to the process. Ronald Reagan never staged an ugly August. He attacked his opponents, but on the high ground of policy. His most famous advertising gambit was a balm: "Morning in America," a series of ads filled with gorgeous American images that didn't even mention Reagan's 1984 opponent, Walter Mondale. But then Reagan was operating at the beginning of a political pendulum swing, utterly confident that his ideas were better than the tired industrial-age liberalism and post-Vietnam pacifism of the Democrats...
...Biden, although he has lived in Delaware for decades, his roots in Scranton are real. His relatives, the Finnegans, live near Doherty, who says he's met Biden many times. Talking to a local newspaper reporter recently, the vice-presidential candidate was quick to mention his connections to the town, including his Scranton friends Larry, Charlie and Tommy. After he got the nomination, he said his mother told him, "Joey, everybody in Scranton will be so proud." It's exactly the reaction Barack Obama is hoping...
...quite that bluntly at the Democratic National Convention tonight. But he probably will use his speech to remind Americans that things were pretty good during the Clinton administration, despite a lot of dire warnings from Republicans, and that things are considerably less good now. He'll probably mention George W. Bush's efforts to reverse just about everything he did, and suggest they might have had something to do with our national journey from peace, prosperity and record budget surpluses to a quagmire in Iraq, recession in America and record budget deficits...
...glad to hear that Pastor Warren is starting to inject a little love into right-wing Christianity. Helping others is certainly an improvement over its usual focus on forcing women to keep unwanted pregnancies and preventing gays from marrying. However, I regret that TIME did not see fit to mention that there are two sides to Warren's plans. A principal cause of poverty in developing countries is the lack of access to birth control and abortion. Is Warren upholding George W. Bush's global gag rule? Has anyone told him that proselytizing is arrogant in its lack of respect...
