...ready smile and, as the time frames shift, quickly realize she's doomed. (First clue: excessive cuteness. Second clue: Other Daughter's pointing out that Daddy seems to have stopped loving all of them when Annie died.) But it's not soon. We wait in dread for the climactic scene - the grief-gasm if you will - for the rest of the movie, and it's agonizing trying to figure out if she's about to fall into a pond or catch something from one of her father's breeding pigeons.

Ilitch, 55, bills herself as a self-made businesswoman. Also trained as a lawyer, Ilitch worked for her family's pizza and sports enterprise before launching her own jewelry company.

Hillary Clinton is annoyingly self-confident, bragging endlessly about the experience she gained as the wife of a former President. ("I'll know what to do / I'm a Clinton too," she sings in one scene.) Even a dance-off between the Obama and McCain camps goes Barack's way: his team has by far the better moves...
...when Argentina's dual-party system broke down following the downfall of the disastrous Radical administration of President Fernando de la Rua in 2001. Economic collapse and social unrest led Argentina to default on $141 billion in foreign debt. Since then, the rambunctious Peronists have dominated Argentina's political scene, first under Nestor Kirchner, who oversaw the country's return to decent economic health, and then under his wife Fernandez, who was labeled Argentina's new Evita when she won the presidency herself.
