...private meeting with Texas Rep. Dick Armey, a stalwart conservative who nonetheless opposed going to war with Iraq, Cheney puts the screws to him.

Two of them crossed so far beyond the known universe of fact that they were simply without foundation...
...Robert Rodriguez-Frank Miller Sin City. On his few forays into late-night talk (one visit with David Letterman sticks in my mind), the host would breathe a sigh of relief to find Rourke roguishly charming; the bull hadn't demolished the china.

This Romeo-and-Juliet drama set on sugarcane plantations was Egypt's entry at the Cannes Film Festival, and a pan-Arabic smash. It established...
...swing state where Schmidt's bratwurst are a point of local culinary pride. But the picture of him emerging from the joint with almost nothing to say while Obama was talking to 200,000 in the Tiergarten might have had a shrinking effect on McCain's rep elsewhere. It was after those three, horrible, no good, rotten days that one Republican said that he wondered whether Steve Schmidt, who took control at McCain central about a month ago, was really up to the task...
