...best part of this clip is its note-perfect rendition of the process, similar to those of yoga and crack cocaine, by which many viewers are introduced to the show in the first place. A friend says, "You've never seen Lost?" in a disbelieving tone of pity and disgust. Then - as night follows day - comes the inevitable binge. It's fair to say that many Lost fans have caught up with the show in long, slothful, weekend-consuming, sofa-denting DVD sessions. Its peculiar mysteries (smoke monster? four-toed statue? the island moves?) lend themselves well to this approach...
...Note the simplicity of the words. This is a different Obama from the one who, full of himself last winter, filled his speeches with gaseous oratory like "We are the ones we've been waiting for." The personal transformation has been gradual, subtle - and the words have grown simpler as the economy collapsed and the full weight of office began to press in on him. The preternatural calm that seemed an attractive part of his personality during the primaries became his dominant trait in the general election - and the defining principle of his transition. He seems, in the modesty...
...explained her purpose to a crowd of eager do-gooders: "With this ... I think that we try to plant a seed in hopes of sparking a desire for all of you to give your pledge." Not good enough? There's more. The video, complete with a Michael Jackson-style note - "You are not alone!" - at the beginning, will be presented to Obama during the Inaugural festivities. Much like the call-to-action videos of campaign yesteryear, Moore asks others to post their own videos and add to Eva Longoria Parker's vow to "plant 500 trees this year" or Moore...
...probably won't find out. Instead, I gave in. Last week I sent Jenny a note - through Facebook, naturally - requesting a get-together. She accepted. When we met up, it seemed like we were closer than I had thought. I knew about Jenny's son's part in the school play, her sledding expedition and what she'd cooked for that big birthday dinner - information we would have shared if we still lived in the same neighborhood and talked regularly, the inane and intimate details that add up to life. The constant stream of data is a digital form...
...described his "pride" in announcing the expulsion of 30,000 illegal immigrants from France in 2008 - a rise of nearly 29% over the previous year. In doing so, Hortefeux surpassed a deportation quota of 26,000 Sarkozy had set for him. Leftist and centrist opponents of Sarkozy's policies note that Hortefeux's announcement came just hours after his boss's explanation in Nîmes that a museum of French history will "reinforce national identity".
