Let me start off by saying, where does Angelina Jolie get the energy to run around with all those kids and look so good all the time? She just had twins a couple of months ago, and already she has resumed her position as the queen of magazine covers. She looked fantastic all dolled up [...]

CHICAGO – For “Paranoid Park,” cult director Gus Van Sant returns to high school, which is the setting of his previous chilling look into the Columbine incident in 2003’s “Elephant”. Though not as successful as “Elephant,” “Paranoid Park” evokes a dream-like meditation on the trials and extreme tribulations of a skateboarding teenage boy trying to find his way.
Newcomer Gabe Nevins is Alex: a disaffected adolescent coping with the dissolution of his parent’s marriage. Though essentially a good kid, Alex starts to act out in reaction to his life and separates himself from his family, girlfriend and even his skater buds.
He becomes obsessed with writing down his story, which centers on rebellious Paranoid Park. It’s an erstwhile gathering site for the skateboard cultu
We all knew that the GOP Primary battle to succeed Diane Delisi down in House District 55 would be a pretty nasty affair. It is safe to say, however, that no one ever expected the campaign to erupt into an all out You Tube-war.
Via the Houston Chronicle’s Texas Politics blog, we see that the campaign of Temple Mayor Pro Tem Martha Tyroch and Temple businessman Ralph Sheffield are battling it out over what actually amounts to a third party You Tube pardy of Tyroch’s campaign commercial.
Empower Texans, the newest conduit for money from school voucher kingpin Dr. James Leininger (who gave the PAC $100,000) and Houston home builder Bob Perry (who gave $25,000) made a parody of one of Tyroch’s campaign commercials which Tyroch’s campaign evidently forced YouTube to re

As I write this, we’re taking the first of three bathroom breaks scheduled for tonight’s two-hour Democratic debate. Even presidential candidates apparently have to occassionally pee. Who knew? They’re done now, I hear Tim Russert asking the next question. I’ll be back.
All righty then, we’re at break number two. So far, so good. What is [...]
There appears to be no love lost between current Pats linebacker Adalius Thomas and Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis. The one-time teammates are now going at it in a war of words that started back on October 16th with some comments made by Thomas in a Sports Illustrated article. In that piece, Thomas gave his opinion about the difference between the Pats and Ravens. “People there wanted the limelight; people sought out the limelight, starting with the head coach. It was a star-studded system. Here it’s about as different as you can get,” Thomas said. “Everybody here shies away from being the star guy. Nobody on this team beats his chest. They just all go about their business. And win.”
Well Lewis, who was not exactly thrilled about hearing what Thomas said about his team, fired back on ESPN 1300 Monday night in Baltimore. “When you take a shot at men that you claim to love to go to war with, I call those cowards,” Lewis said. “If you ha
Zach Johnson’s face is blazoned all over the civilized world. On equipment displays in golf shops. On magazine covers and on the pages within. On promotional placards at PGA Tour tournaments. On rear projections and flat panels in every living room in the country.
Wearing a Green Jacket will sure get a guy noticed.
But well before the rapid proliferation of his apple pie effigy, this Cedar Rapids native was the face of Iowa golf. Until recently, his fame was merely a more…
An interesting article, which appeared in the LA Times last week, looks at the changing figure of women showcased within the media. It refers to the cover of the June issue of Harper's Bazaar, which features Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, and without making any excuses says that this picture is plain wrong. As Booth Moore from the LA Time puts it: "There's a new look taking over this town: Strong, curvy women are at the top of every segment of pop culture, including film, TV and music. And we're not talking about a certain size 4 Latina pop star who happens to have a round bottom." The article talks about curvy women in the limelight such as Jennifer Hudson, America Ferrera and Beth Ditto, women who are curvy, beautiful, successful and making it in the skinny dominated sectors. This is just the beginning, the future looks very curvy.

It has only been a few weeks and Nicolas Sarkozy is already wowing Europe and taking France back to a central strategic position in the EU. In stark contrast to French leaders of the last generation he is friendly, easy going, energetic and completely at ease in front of people and on the world stage. I can only see Frances position in the world community being raised exponentially by Mr. Sarkozy. What sort of spin will the French socialists put on this good news to somehow make it bad? How much more rioting in the streets will we see by the populace enraged at the prospect of finally being held accountable for the actions? That is most definitely a socialists nightmare. I for one am most definitely looking forward to an engaged and forward looking France. Nicolas Sarkozy has promised to bring France back to being a good friend of America. Good job Mr. Sarkozy! ~RJH New York Times story link Sarkozy Takes Center Stage in Europe By Stephen Castle and Dan BilefskyBRUSSELS, June 24 T
My life is beginning to feel more centered. As a military brat dealing with constant and inevitable change, my life often felt left or right of center. Not in a bad way. I just never felt grounded because I knew that most situations were temporary. But that can also be a good way. I don't rely on permanence, and as a result, change is not as frightening to me as an adult. It doesn't mean that I don't hate the fact that nothing lasts. I absolutely despise that the greatest things in my life won't last forever, and I think I grip moments more than others do because of it.The big picture of my life contrasts sharply with the finer details. I am a creature of habit, creating structure in whatever environment I have been placed, or - as with New York - have finally chosen. And I have created my own structure in becoming a New Yorker.My apartment is coming together. Still slowly. But there is a personal gratification that comes with labored progress. And I'm creating new goals instead o
