...While computers are sometimes used - digital paint was employed in Princess Mononoke, for example - the essence if not the entirety of a Studio Ghibli film still consists of Miyazaki personally putting pen to paper. His latest fairytale, Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, which grossed over $91 million in the first month of its Japan release, was done entirely by hand. The power of this as a means of differentiating Studio Ghibli's work from other animation houses cannot be overstated. Characters and story lines, too, are seemingly inimitable. "The Ghibli working style is possible because of Miyazaki," says...
...have just now completed the month of August, which is the cruelest month for Democrats, the month when Republicans go for the jugular, trotting out arguments - some valid, most scurrilous - that paint their Democratic rivals as weak, élite or unpatriotic. This is a relatively new phenomenon in American politics, the 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...
...creeping worry in Denver that Obama's stadium gig - his planned Thursday acceptance speech to a crowd of 70,000 at Denver's Invesco field - could be ammunition for the McCain campaign's effort to paint Obama as a celebrity, Plouffe says, "We think this is something that should be welcomed and celebrated, the fact that we're opening this up to average Americans.

...Good, CEO and founder of Pink magazine, a women's business publication based in Atlanta, the "Men Working" sign on the corner of Marietta Street and Northside Drive just a few blocks from her office couldn't be ignored. In early July, city police found that someone had spray painted two extra letters, W and O, on the sign, and received a report that put Good at the scene with a can of spray paint in hand. When officers and the head of the road crew paid Good a visit, "I offered to pay for that one sign if they...
...remembered Obama telling voters for the past month that he didn't want a Washington insider. Two of the other four finalists were from outside the Beltway - Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius and Virginia Governor Tim Kaine (the fourth being Indiana Senator Evan Bayh). To vaccinate against GOP attempts to paint Biden as an insider, the campaign has been careful to underline Biden's distance from Washington. "He never moved to Washington," Obama said while introducing Biden. "Instead, night after night, week after week, year after year, he returned home to Wilmington on a lonely Amtrak train when his Senate business...
