...sick of men who can't satisfy her. Also, NASA and racist dolphins. But Sykes, a former writer for Chris Rock (whom she sounds a bit like) and the star of two short-lived TV shows, has more than enough energy and tart comic logic for this stand-up soir??e. She doesn't just rail at the White House's fumbling of military and financial issues; she's got helpful hints, like putting working moms in charge of the defense budget ("There's a sale on bombs at Target"). Of the newer comics with DVDs, Sykes is the finest...
...events together, the Class of 2006 took Senior Week to new heights—producing attendance figures that SCC member Christina L. Adams ’06 said “by far exceeded attendance expectations”. Typically sold-out events like the increased-capacity Senior Soir??e and the tasting and tour at Westport Rivers Winery remained so, but increased participation showed elsewhere in the week’s schedule.

As it stands today, indirect elections discourage sensible and thorough platforms when candidates are running. Since students do not know which committee they...
While "Inside Man" treads familiar ground, it does so with a deft, fun touch that makes it feel fresher than the average cops-and-robbers soir??e. Perhaps its trickiest feat is balancing two distinct storylines: a cop movie (the police are the good guys and the drama is behind the barricades) and a heist movie (the robbers are the good guys and the fun is in seeing them pull off their convoluted plot). It is hard to cheer for both sides at once, but the movie makes it possible (no telling who wins in the end, though...
