...more with the three prior comments. You are soooo sexy, brilliant, hilarious, and awe-inspiring. Some would even say godlike.” Now unfortunately for this commentator, I am fluent in sarcasm. Some would even say my sarcasm skills are godlike. So once I accurately deciphered this witty remark for its true meaning, I immediately sought therapy to help remind me that, despite what this one person thinks, I am soooo sexy...
...closer to knocking you off your seat, and you can feel every fall. Part of what makes the Spider-Man movie franchise so endearing is its sentimentality. You like Peter Parker, and you sympathize with him. When his Aunt May gives him loving advice, when he makes a bonehead remark to Mary Jane, you wince and wish he’d take it back. But when Venom begins to consume him, his good boy image quickly transforms into that of an arrogant, disaffected teen—complete with emo hair. The movie suffers from a few weak elements that will...
...Friday, initial press reports about the book, reported that Tenet acknowledges that he made his storied remark about the prewar intelligence on Iraq being a "slam dunk," but that other U.S. officials shared his comment with Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward - many months after the fact - out of context in an effort to shift the blame for the war's costs and direction from the White House to the CIA.

In its 549 pages, Tenet defends his actions and is highly critical of the decision-making process that led to the Iraq war. "There was never a serious debate that I know of within the administration about the imminence of the Iraqi threat," Tenet writes. He adds that there was also no "significant discussion" about dealing with...
...Home for the Holidays Kudos to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for a wonderful diplomatic and public relations coup [April 16]. He released the British captives at the right time. I particularly enjoyed his remark that the act was a "gift" to Britain for Easter and the Prophet Muhammad's birthday. Contrast this to the hanging of Saddam Hussein on the first day of 'Id al-Adha by the American puppets in Iraq. I am happy that this issue was resolved peacefully and hope that leaders in the Middle East will take a more pragmatic approach and not be rhetorically provocative...
