...this is, for Pete's sake, an Oliver Stone movie. When this gifted, truculent director approaches this highly charged subject, we expect something other, something more, than honorable sentiment. It's as if Will Ferrell were to play Hamlet. Not that he couldn't, just that the audience would be waiting for the melancholy Dane to go all giggly, strip off his black tutu and run naked through Elsinore. Similarly, Stone's admirers (and detractors) will monitor World Trade Center for some of the conspiratorial vigor he brought to JFK, or the loopy critique, in Natural Born Killers, of extreme...
...word "Democrat" on the web site of Brad Ellsworth, the Democrat running against Hostettler in the Evansville district. And Ellsworth's campaign manager, Jay Howser, calls his candidate "a Southern Indiana Democrat," to distinguish him from the rest of the party.

Wildlife Conservation Council officer Pete Cimellaro told senators early in Martin’s confirmation hearings that the work demanded by the Commission would take away from the time Martin should be devoting to her young son.I suppose I’ve been under the misconception that we should leave it up to parents (not legislatures) to gauge...
...populists, and most of the other Democratic candidates have touches of populism in their pitches. In Tennessee, for example, moderate Democrat Harold Ford Jr. has embraced the right-wing House Republican immigration plan in his Senate campaign. "I don't think we ran an ad where [Republican beer baron] Pete Coors wasn't seen wearing a tuxedo," says Mandy Grunwald, who advised Colorado's successful Democratic Senate candidate Ken Salazar in 2004. "It's gotten to the point where every campaign is a populist campaign, and the strongest populist argument we have is the Republicans' fiscal irresponsibility back in Washington...
