...Technicolor daydreams, even the legendary Furious Five are no match for a panda's bodacity. In real life, or as real as a cartoon fantasy gets, Po is the waiter in the village noodle shop run by his father (James Hong) - who happens to be a goose, but never mind. When Po hears that the thousand-year-old turtle Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) is to anoint the Dragon Warrior that day, he schleps his noodle wagon to the ceremony and, through the some mind-numbing plot contortions, is declared the new kung fu hero.

My memory must be trained to be catalyzed by different things, through someone else’s laugh, through a test I’ve saved from third grade with her signature, or through a scene different than my home. I can run my fingers over...
...size of a dime and as thick as a nickel-a discolored blotch on John McCain's left temple. He didn't pay it much mind during the heat of the 2000 Republican primary campaign. But after losing the nomination to George W. Bush, the Arizona Senator found himself with time to spare. So as Bush celebrated victory, McCain headed to the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., to have the spot checked...
