...that not since Robin Williams in Aladdin has an actor so deliciously appropriated a movie. Whether he's fending off the sudden amorous attentions of Fiona's dragon, proposing an evening of man-to-man conversation with Shrek--to be followed by a waffle breakfast he's willing to whip up--or dealing with a twitching eye brought on by his many stressful adventures, no one has ever made a funnier jackass of himself than Murphy...

Martin Meehan (D-Mass.), who has sponsored the House version in the past, has expressed strong reservations about raising individual spending limits. We are confident that the members who passed this bill in the last Congress despite the parliamentary machinations of the Republican leadership would be able to do so again. But we are highly...
