This quote, attributed to a senior Republican official, was a hoot: "Kerry is the weirdo first husband you married in college when you were an art major. Bush is the solid second husband who saved you, helped you raise kids and taught you golf" [Oct. 11]. A more accurate description would be "Bush is the frat boy you married when you didn't know any better. Kerry is the solid second husband who can be counted on for his clear judgment and respect for his wife as an equal partner." Golf is fine, but there's plenty that women...
...long before withdrawal of U.S. forces becomes the only option. If Kerry comes to preside over these events, the Democrats will have a very unhappy four years.

...think Peter Parker is alienated and nerdy, check out Andy, a feckless, aimless orphan whose father left him an unusual legacy: superstrength and a ray gun that instantly annihilates its victims. Eightball positively crackles with self-loathing and pop-culture smarts and crawls with the kind of weirdo loners Clowes portrayed so well in Ghost World. Every frame is like a melancholy miniature Daumier, rendered in pulpy primary colors. If you're wondering what all the fuss is about comic books--sorry, graphic novels--check out Clowes. Nobody does them better...
...ridiculous-if-you’ve-never-been here caricatures, including “Contracts Law” Professor Kingsfield and his beautiful daughter Susan, played by Wagner. He falls in love with the daughter and learns to tackle the demanding class, with constant humorous interludes involving Harvard weirdo-filled study groups. Although it sounds pretty dumb in theory, the strong performances create a strongly watchable law based adventure/love story...
