Could things be any worse for George W. Bush and his beleaguered party? In the new TIME poll, the President's job approval rating continues to wallow near his all-time lows, at 33%, while his disapproval rating breaks the 60% barrier for the third consecutive survey. On Iraq, meanwhile, just 38% of respondents think the U.S. was right to invade, and only 37% believe "the new Iraqi government will be able to build a stable and reasonably democratic society."

...once-popular cultural critic, George Ade, who declared that his alma mater, Purdue, “gives you everything that Harvard does, except the pronunciation of a as in father.” Perhaps Mr. Bartenstein would be happier at Purdue, or perhaps at Suffolk University where he could wallow in Blue Collar Bostonese as much as he liked.

"I was very angry about it," she told the Daily Mail. "I felt that it was at the very least discourteous of Ian McEwan not to have...
...Modern China,” from cheesy puns (ever thought about love songs as “decadence through de-cadence”?) to cheesy flicks (try analyzing “Kung-Fu Hustle” in a classroom).There’s something for everyone: sentimentalists can wallow in the perennially doe-eyed expressions of actresses whose roles were so depressing they committed suicide; action fans can get a hai(-ya!) from Jet Li’s fighting antics; and brooding emo-types will enjoy plenty of angst-ridden stories in the ridiculously long two-volume coursepack.Don...
