...Sailing to Philadelphia, the indignant, muted, yet invitingly incomprehensible lyrics of "Sultans of Swing" are absent. Most of the songs are fairly transparent paeans to episodes of America's folk past, never mind Knopfler's British extraction. The title track features Knopfler and guest James Taylor in a mock-up of a very awkward conversation between Mason and Dixon of Mason-Dixon line fame, but the song holds together if you don't pay attention to the lyrics. Unfortunately, Knopfler seems to have lost the ability to choose exactly the right words for a situation that he displayed so brilliantly...
Interested students first enter a lottery. The winners then take a short quiz of true or false questions. Those who pass play a mock game of Hollywood Squares...
...there were a string of films that attempted to confront, mock and criticize contemporary politics. Wag the Dog features a White House-recruited Hollywood producer creating a distraction--in the form of a fake war--from a risqu sex-scandal threatening the president on the eve of his re-election.

And Primary Colors tells the story of an idealistic political aficionado seduced into...
...point out, the Gore campaign far outspends them on polling ($1.25 million to $690,000 this year). But those figures obscure the fact that much of the data Bush uses is paid for by the Republican National Committee, whose ads are coordinated with the team in Austin. Even mock anti-Bush ads have been tested to see where the candidate is most vulnerable. Last week Castellanos and a bevy of R.N.C. officials sipped beer while they watched from behind a one-way mirror as 30 Virginians registered on dial-a-meters their reactions to ads attacking Gore's positions...
...Bush campaign officials had debate briefing books? A short document that only McKinnon may have had access to was also found in the material sent to Downey. According to sources familiar with the fbi's investigation, New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg, who played Gore in the Bush campaign's mock debates, had typed out about 20 suggestions for the Governor to consider in his debate preparations. During a practice session, he handed the list to McKinnon, who gave the Gregg document with its handwritten notations to Lozano, asking her to type and then e-mail them to other top Bush...
