...legislative plans and reluctant to offer prescriptions for resuscitating the party other than the mild suggestion that Democrats should pay more attention to rural America. Indeed, a good example of the Reid style can be found in his handling of that hottest of issues, abortion. He opposes it except in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is at stake. But he has leavened that position with vehement support for contraception. He joined with Maine Republican Olympia Snowe to offer a bill ordering private health-insurance plans to cover birth control. He successfully filibustered for including...

The movie seems to perpetuate, rather than poke fun at, the ridiculous conventions of the Hollywood romantic comedy. There are some...
...pizza on the floor and drunkenly howling their very own versions of Ashlee Simpson’s “Pieces of Me” (hey, it beat the SNL version) and “Sunny Days,” the theme from Sesame Street. It was like karaoke, except with the Tommy’s night manager’s baritone cries of “MOZZ STICK!” every ten seconds instead of shitty backup music...
