...south, just north of the Mexican town of Tecate, the fire by Tuesday night had charred 70,000 acres, destroyed 200 homes, killed one man and injured 25, including five firefighters. To the north, the Witch Creek Fire burned 164,000 acres in the towns and communities of Poway, Ramona, Lakeside, San Marcos, Valley Center, Rincon, Wildcat Canyon and Rancho Santa Fe. By Tuesday, it had destroyed 500 homes and injured seven firefighters and two civilians. Other fires - in Rice Canyon, Poomacha, McCoy and Coronado Hills - destroyed homes and burned thousands of acres throughout the county, keeping firefighters scrambling...

...started out as an OK weekend, except the San Diego Chargers weren't playing and the weather had been in the bone chilling 60s. Then came the first flames, in one area appropriately named the Witch near Ramona. All of a sudden places we long-timers never knew even had a name became labeled. The new monikers still don't help any of us know exactly where the neighborhoods are. But we can smell them now. They are choking us. Within 24 hours, nine fires were ravaging the San Diego area. Paradise was Apocalypse...

There are some movies that should never have been made. An imdb.com search of the 100 lowest-rated films reveals a smorgasbord of such unmediated disasters: “The Tony Blair Witch Project,” “From Justin to Kelly,” “Phat Girlz” and “Gigli” to name a few. I am confident that when “30 Days of Night” has been released long enough for a handful of helpless viewers to suffer though it, the movie will edge...

...even many of those advocates of an exclusively conservative cabinet balked at approving the immigration law on principles of their own. Indeed, nearly two weeks before Amara opposed the legislation, the immigration bill nearly foundered before an upper house of parliament that felt elements of it might create a witch-hunt environment targeting legal and illegal immigrants alike. The legislation was finally passed after being considerably watered down, but it marked another significant case of the previously surging Sarkozy encountering resistance from within his own ranks and government...

...feel as if I've betrayed my disappointment with The Heartbreak Kid by making it sound vaguely amusing. The movie has its moments, like Lila's ring tone (the Wicked Witch broomstick theme from The Wizard of Oz), and Corddry's exasperated description of his secret for a happy marriage ("Sit back, relax and wait for the sweet embrace of death"). I also appreciated Eddie's flailing argument for dumping his bride for another woman. "The heart wants what it wants," he says, quoting Woody Allen's remark to Walter Isaacson of TIME during the 1992 scandal involving the filmmaker...
