...roll involves a bass, drums and a guitar, except for sometimes when it doesn't. Sometimes there's a keyboard. Sometimes there isn't. If I had to provide only one example - if I had to offer one song that defines what rock 'n' roll means to me - I'd go with Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock." After that, probably something by the Beatles...
...disappointment," Nikki Rocco, the studio's president of distribution, said of Green Zone. Actually, it's a bit of a disaster. It's a smidge of financial calamity. It's a flop of Universal proportions. With a grudging B-rating from CinemaScore's polling of moviegoers who'd seen the film, Green Zone could join Syriana, The Kingdom, Lions for Lambs, In the Valley of Elah, Rendition and the Oscar-triumphant The Hurt Locker in the box-office body count of Mideast war movies.

...could have survived the full Senate, if the Senate would have been able to work out its differences with the House in a conference, if the Senate and House would have been able to pass the resulting conference bill, or if Obama - whose aides have suggested they'd much prefer no bill (and a potentially powerful issue they could use to bash Republicans in the run-up to the midterm elections) to a weak bill - would have signed the compromise.

...budget, its own presidentially-appointed director, and preferably its own address; it can't be subservient to the larger mission of the Treasury or the Federal Reserve, and it shouldn't be tucked in their basements. It would have to enforce rules as well as write them; otherwise, we'd remain dependent on the same regulators who failed us last time. And those rules would have to apply to all bank and non-bank institutions, including the payday lenders who contributed so generously to Corker's campaigns; otherwise, the loan business would simply move to the unregulated corners...
