...story: Sprightly 60-somethings Robert Doback (Richard Jenkins) and Nancy Huff (Mary Steenburgen) meet at a medical conference and instantly fall in lust. One a widower, the other a divorcée, the two get married and move into his place. The catch is that each of the newlyweds has a wayward, layabout son who's near 40: Dale Doback (Reilly) and Brennan Huff (Ferrell). Seemingly deficient in intelligence, and lacking the most rudimentary of social skills, Dale and Brennan feel hate at first sight as quickly as their parents found love. Their resentment comes from territorial rivalry, but even...
...forces from Iraq and a Bush Administration diplomat joining Iran discussions. John McCain faces the possibility of losing one of his few advantages: a firm focus on national security. With Obama on an international globe-trot, McCain was forced to spend the week reacting to the Democrat's every move rather than aggressively shaping the debate with his own message.

"They thought they were safe behind those...

The age of consent was raised from 14 to 16, and marriages between stepchildren and stepparents were outlawed. The changes were modeled on a Utah law that was believed to have prompted Jeffs' decision to move his flock to more-remote places in Texas, Colorado and Mexico...
...both sides in the conflict, citing the day's terror attack in Jerusalem as further reason for why the Israelis are hesitant to make a deal while noting the economic plight of the Palestinians that only exacerbates the situation. "It's difficult for either side to make the bold move that would bring about peace," said Obama. "There's a tendency for each side to focus on the faults of the other rather than look in the mirror...
