...best onscreen are the ones who are dark, mysterious, and potentially dangerous. A lot of them associatethemselves with various species of icky animals-Batman, Spider-Man and Nightcrawler (who will appear in X2, the upcoming sequel to X-Men). Wolverine, given all his qualifications, has a cheese factor of zero. Wolverine is cool. Wolverine is attitude incarnate...
...carmakers keep it up? The industry's recent history is well-told by now. Zero-percent financing deals, fat incentives and a burst of patriotism produced a spectacular bounce-back for the industry from the post-Sept. 11 flatline, (helping us speed through the recession in the process).

I can't believe I'm writing this - but they still don't get it. And if they cannot get the enormity of the crimes their clergy have committed, they are even further from acknowledging their own role in enabling them...
