...deepens his niche as hilarious bit actor with his role as Adventureland’s park manager, whose cool demeanor hides a violent inner aggression. His “Saturday Night Live” co-star Kristen Wiig makes confused faces with the best of them as his spacey wife. The most loveable character could be Joel (Martin Starr), the bespectacled and barely mustachioed carnival stand attendant who considers himself less of a Jew and “more of an atheist, or existential nihilist.” At one point he hands his favorite piece of Russian literature...
Over drinks at El Tapatio, a half-empty restaurant near the highway, Margarito, his wife and uncle talked about the financial crisis - how Wall Street had binged on mortgages while Washington looked the other way. The parallels to immigration were pointed: during the boom years, the U.S. binged on cheap labor while politicians neither legalized workers nor prevented them from sneaking across the border.

...years ago, when I had hair and body mass and my teeth were shiny." He lives in Philadelphia, despite his constant need to commute to places like Washington and New York City, because that's where he grew up and his family's roots are.

It was a good line, but unsupported by anything resembling a strategy to combat the disease. When we asked about the role of his intelligence service in feeding the cancer, he responded, "The germ was created by the CIA." True enough, but somewhat dated. "Your government called them the 'moral equivalent...
...violent crime was part of a "counter-revolution" engineered by pro-apartheid whites "to render the country ungovernable." But in retirement, Mandela rediscovered his inner democrat, speaking out against tyranny, wherever he found it - even in his own party. In March 2007, at the funeral of Adelaide Tambo, wife of his longtime friend and comrade Oliver Tambo, the old man scolded the assembled party leadership. The ANC's leaders should be "making this country of ours the caring and decent society for which this great South African dedicated her entire life and for which she sacrificed so much," he said...
