...Must Die) that help give a bad name to the movies shown on airplanes. Instead, consider the stars who lend their voices to the Chipettes: Christina Applegate, Amy Poehler and Anna Faris, smart comediennes all. As for the movie's writers - Jon Vitti, Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger - they've spent a decade or two creating clever words and strange thoughts for characters on The Simpsons and King of the Hill, and Aibel and Berger helped script Kung Fu Panda and Monsters vs Aliens. Writing funny for animals should not be a chore for these guys. What the heck happened...
...expect TV journalism to change in the next five years? - Debra Turner, New York City I've seen a lot of death notices come and go about what I do for a living. Not only are we still standing; I'm proud to report that NBC Nightly News viewers have increased over last year. I think with media rapidly multiplying, the choices we have, have perhaps become so dizzying that there is a kind of "Come home, America" aspect to our increased audience...
...dropping into a tie with former state House speaker Marco Rubio - an underdog Crist had led by more than 20 points last summer - in next year's Republican primary race for the U.S. Senate.

Ever since a conservative tent revival began sweeping America last summer, sparked by angry misgivings about health care reform and other harbingers of big government, Republican purists have targeted Crist's moderate, bipartisan style. Seizing on his embrace of President Obama's $787 billion economic-stimulus plan, they've treated him as a whipping boy for everything that's wrong with the battered GOP as well as Florida's recession-ravaged economy, whose unemployment rate of 11.5% is the state's worst since 1975. Along the way they've anointed Rubio, a 38-year-old Cuban American...
...tamp down Florida's runaway property taxes and insurance premiums. Conservatives are still apoplectic about his appointment of an African-American Democrat to the Florida Supreme Court this year; but he's expected to remind them about the two dyed-in-the-wool conservatives he appointed before that. They've wailed about his efforts to restore voting rights to released felons; but Crist's "Chain Gang Charlie" nickname, which he got for co-sponsoring a law that revived the use of leg irons for prison labor, will probably be heard more often...
