...Confederacy, we will never heal our national wounds. Indeed, she seems to have far less racial problems than most northern cities where racial tension often erupts into violence. We have had no police shootings in Charleston over the Confederate flag issue, no racial warfare--merely dialogue and compromise. Instead of vilifying South Carolina, perhaps we should take work out our problems through words and not bullets and hate...
...Know I Suck" schtick so the press has no choice but to fawn all over him (it's good ol' reverse psychology). It all started downhill for Matt when the Academy passed him over for The Talented Mr. Ripley and decided to nominate his co-star, Jude Law, instead (the "Golden Boy" torch was officially passed). Realizing that Mr. Damon was about to lose his luster, the rumor mill went into overdrive - any seedy information about Matt would be welcomed and promptly printed. And like clockwork, two weeks later, the stories appear. Here are the two most incriminating...
...Less importantly to the flock of execs, Lunar Plexus had begun playing the VIP Lounge upstairs. Now although my pass had the letters "VIP" on it, the light in the club apparently caused the bouncer to instead read "under no circumstances should this person be allowed upstairs."

Damon's growing obsession with Wahlberg - he talks about him constantly, even stalked him at points - "became unsettling to Ryder, sources say, so when he made a recent...
Chances are we won't be able to remember exactly what the arguments were for keeping Elian here or for sending him home. Instead, we'll remember media-crafted images, because that's what this whole case has been about. There's no legal or emotional logic; there's only the mind-numbing parade of made-for-television snapshots: The self-righteous Miami Cuban-American community, chanting and mugging for the cameras; the indignant lawyers; the self-serving talking heads and the political posturing. If we're really lucky and concentrate hard, we'll remember the bemused expression...
