...been among the festival's most strident talking points. Gavin Hood's Rendition tossed Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal and Meryl Streep into a story of U.S.-condoned torture of a terror suspect. But documentary films are the main entertainment conduit for leftist antiwar sentiment (the right wing has talk radio), and TIFF 31 has entries from two men with the proper pedigree: Phil Donahue, the liberal who pioneered the issue-based TV talk show, and Michael Moore, the political activist and nonpareil docu-comic...
...Today his kids speak with Irish accents. They learn the Irish language in school and play Gaelic football. The mayoral duties are "mostly ceremonial," Adebari says. He has time enough left to run a cross-cultural consultancy firm, work on two separate integration projects and host a weekly local radio show, Respecting Difference. In the new Ireland, he can go far. For now, though, Adebari seems every bit the politician. "I'm delighted to be a vanguard," he says, "but all the kudos go to the people of Portlaoise...
...room this summer. (Predicting Craig's denials, he claimed his alleged offer to a cop of $20 and oral sex was a "big misunderstanding.") In 2006, Ted Haggard, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, admitted "sexual immorality" after a male personal trainer said on Denver radio that he had sex with Haggard.

...often use a simple temporal cue to distinguish between the weak and the hypocritical: if you say one thing and then do another, you are much less likely to be forgiven than if you do one thing and then say another. Barden, Rucker and Petty use this example: a radio host says on-air that he's joining a fitness organization but then eats pizza for a week and gains five pounds. Hypocrite! Now consider the reverse order: the host eats pizza for a week and then publicly joins a fitness group. "In each case," the psychologists wrote...
...Haggard actually believed what they said--that homosexuality is sin. They spent most of their lives fighting for the conservative cause. But in Craig's case, the Idaho Statesman has published allegations that there were at least three other slipups involving men, beginning in 1967. What if, like the radio host who gets fat but commits to losing weight, the moralizers were trying through their "pro-family" endeavors to expiate their lustful sins? You may think they are wrong about homosexuality (I do), but that doesn't make them hypocrites...
