...gnome-artisans at Aardman and the brasher gang at DreamWorks. What both outfits stress is telling stories through characters, and Bowers (along with co-writer Timothy Hyde Harris) breathe a solid emotional life into Toby and Tenma, while adhering to the confines of a kid-oriented feature. The animation style is supple and assured. And if the audience includes any precocious kids like Toby, they'll be diverted by references to Isaac Asimov and Immanuel Kant...
...Sales was back on radio, hosting a mid-morning show on New York's WNBC that was improbably sandwiched between Don Imus and Howard Stern. His cheerful comedic style seemed antique compared with the grouchiness of those two audio superstars. But even in the '50s and '60s, parading his encyclopedic memory for shtick, he was a throwback to every baggypants tummeler, every silent-movie clown.

And I think that is something that has really changed in terms of looking good and being comfortable. Most of the women, either Senators or members of Congress, have...
...confiscating wealth in order to buy votes: "Our American principles are under attack in a way they never were before." Rubio refrained from feeding the crowd red meat - his was medium rare - but he did present a vision of the country at a crossroads of freedom and European-style socialism. "If we become like every other country, we will no longer be exceptional," he said. "And our children will ask us, Why did you let that happen?" (Read "GOP at War with Itself in Florida Senate Race...
