...debates, since "it isn't easy to tell lies when your opponent is standing right next to you." Oops! After that column appeared, 70 million people watched and heard Vice-Presidential candidate Joe Biden tell 15 documented falsehoods, including the claim that he regularly patronizes Katie's Restaurant, in Wilmington, Delaware, which has been closed for years.

...Anyone who's seen a boxing film will be able to predict the rest of The Wrestler. Randy gets one more chance: a 20-year rematch in Wilmington of his Ayatollah fight. Will he pass it up to save his life? (Not if there's gonna be an Act Three.) And the woman in his life - will Randy manage to connect with his estranged daughter (Wood), who hasn't forgiven him for abandoning her? (That's Act Two, where the only innovation is that the girl's mother is never mentioned). And will a local stripper, well played by Tomei...
