Untraceable is Uninspirednew
Tired, slow, and wholly unbelievable, Untraceable is the kind of movie that makes me want to become a serial killer, if only to hunt down the coked-up Hollywood 'tards who greenlight crapola like this time and again.

Just Another Face in the Crowdnew
The state's political parties moved this year's primary up to Feb. 5 to make Arkansas more relevant in the nominating process -- by the time Arkansas voted in 2004, John Kerry was the effective nominee -- but the change seems unlikely to give the state more electoral muscle or attention.

When It Comes to the Economy, the People Get Itnew
Increased productivity and a robust GDP look magnificent from up there, but at the middle and the bottom it feels like a lot of pain. People sense the truth, that there are now two economies in the United States, one for the rich and one for everyone else.

God's -- and Huckabee's -- Standardsnew
Mike Huckabee said last week he favors amending the U.S. Constitution to bring it in line with "God's standards." That's a big job that would entail adoption of a number of amendments, and since the candidate didn't specify, I thought I'd help him out by recommending a few.

Hopes that the U. S. Supreme Court would strike another and near-fatal blow against the death penalty this year manifestly will not be realized unless a couple of the justices surprise us.

'The Savages' Mixes Levity With Gravitynew
Almost everything to be gleaned about the film from its marketing -- the precious cartoon poster, the spunky trailer, the extremely limited release -- suggests yet another ho-hum, self-indulgent indie film. It's not.

Iowa Dispatch: Edwards Populism v. Huckabee Populismnew
Huckabee's routine contains little that appeals to the common man's wallet besides the promise to end dependence on foreign oil and the cry to abolish the IRS and enact the FairTax -- a policy that is hardly in the economic interest of the lower and middle classes. Edwards, on the other hand, had a firm grasp on specific government policies that concern working people.
