...Former majority leader Trent Lott, a Mississippi Republican, expresses sympathy with Reid's predicament. "I know for a fact that the toughest job in this city is majority leader," says Lott, who knows firsthand the threat of ambitious underlings. After he made indelicate remarks praising Strom Thurmond's segregationist bid for the White House, they were quick to force him out as majority leader. "There's always pressure on you from within your own party and across the aisle. So he's juggling a lot of balls, he's got a very tough job, and it doesn't help...
...Couples Retreat was co-written by Vaughn and Favreau, with an assist from Dana Fox, and it has the choppiness you'd expect from too many cooks in the kitchen (in contrast, Favreau was the only screenwriter on Swingers). I'm fine with the original Trent ("money") and Mike (not "money," no matter what Trent said) moving to the suburbs, having kids, getting fat and spending weekends at Home Depot and Applebee's.

A document from the Council of Trent assured skeptical priests that "God refuses not that gift to those who ask for it rightly, neither does He suffer us to be tempted above that which we are able...
...actual voting, the Democrats are still short of their 60-vote majority, given that Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd are on indefinite medical leave and are only likely to return for the most important votes. Not to mention the fact that governing the Senate, as former majority leader Trent Lott once put it, is like herding cats. The Dems have such a wide umbrella that finding issues that unite both ends of the 60-vote spectrum can be tough...
