We started to realize that something was happening to our little shuck-shuck comedy. When we went to the GLAAD awards and people stood up and applauded, I started crying - I'm such a geek!

Broken guardrails, shattered glass and pulverized concrete make it difficult even to walk around. Thirty-two people, mostly Hizballah fighters, died in the town, but within a day of the cease-fire with Israel, the militants turned into recovery workers, bringing in bulldozers and earth-moving equipment to dig through...
