...there alone doing the things I had to do, just partial sets. Hopefully the other people got it. I knew when the websites started to pop up and people started to talk about the film itself and what they thought was going to happen, or people making posters or making T-shirts or creating songs, that there is a market that even New Line had no clue that they were tapping into. Hence, why would they want to change the name? Stop, listen and pay attention to what's going on here, because what's happening is something they couldn...
...says. "Of course the government had to back away from their law after such a show of force, but who would have thought it would take four weeks of protests to bring them to their senses? So it wasn't a real victory, but at best a partial one, which has brought us back to the normal state of affairs." Judging by recent French history, the students' victory is likely to be partial for other reasons, too. The same combustible sequence of events that killed Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin's contested youth job bill has played out in identical...
...black crows, slugs, spiders and a gun that shoots floating hearts as bullets. The video is surreal fun for a bit. And then it keeps going. And going.

Although the song will undoubtedly hit these shores hard, it’s tough to imagine the video being a similar sensation. There are only so many times...
...only because of burnout. "People are tired," says a former White House official. "Everyone is pooped at this point." But the changes by themselves are not a panacea. The sources of Bush's woes - mostly fueled by Iraq but also including high oil prices and stymied policies like the partial privatization of Social Security - aren't likely to change until the policies themselves either change or yield better results. The staff turnovers that lead to new policies tend to work best. Those that just change names don't. In the case of Reagan, the arrival of Washington fixer Kenneth Duberstein...
...most basic level, “Kingdom” is only a partial success. The writing is at times clumsy, and almost every character seems cut out of cardboard (something especially evident when a burly Scotland Yard cop hilariously bullies Barker with the prospect of preventing him from teaching his “precious physical training classes” and when the criminal mastermind maniacally blathers like the worst sort of Bond villain). Still, Thomas maintains a brisk pace, and the read is quick and often...
