...Tell me about the tattoo parlor you work at, the Sea Tramp in Portland. It's a fascinating place. It was started by a guy named Bert Grimm, who allegedly tattooed Bonnie and Clyde and Buffalo Bill when he lived in St. Louis. He moved to Portland and retired, but decided that he couldn't stand to be retired so he opened up this shop that I currently own part of. There's so much ancient stuff there. We have an incredibly old piano in our storeroom and nobody knows how it got there. We actually found a Tommy...
...have a favorite story you like to tell when someone asks you about your job? I guess it depends entirely on what mood I'm in. A lot of people ask me, "What is your main regret?" I have to say that every tattoo artist will have the same answer to this question, and it's that eventually, one day, everything you made will be gone.

...tell that to Paul Wu, the park's director of investment services. He and his colleagues are scheming to make Hsinchu as important to Taiwan's future as it has been to its past by attracting companies in cutting-edge industries such as alternative energy.

He adds, "He is butting into another country's interests. I don't think Israel tells Obama what...
...Truth to tell, the Brits get the best lines, and In the Loop sags when the U.S. government's antiwar faction starts macchiavelling. Iannucci & Co. have much more fun with American hawks like Donald Rumsfeld. The former Defense Secretary hardly needs caricaturing; he was his own David Levine cartoon. So the movie's Lynton Barwick (David Rasche) is just Rumsfeld with a haircut, not a lobotomy. "We don't need any more facts," Lynton proclaims. "In the land of truth, my friend, the man with one fact is the king." And he is in control of what passes for fact...
