No Dicking Aroundnew
Condon's movie, faithful to several texts about Kinsey, may be set decades ago, but it feels as relevant as tomorrow's news. In the 1940s, Professor Kinsey fostered a discussion that has turned into a shouting match. No longer startled by his discoveries, we're now aghast at the implications.

Start with 911. The phone number. You dial it. You assume you're talking to 911. Assume again. There exists an entire new government agency, heretofore unknown to the public, which shall be called "Maybe-911-Maybe-Not."

U.S. Media Not as Free as Latvia'snew
In a new report ranking press freedom around the world, the U.S. comes in at a cool 22, behind Latvia, Lithuania and a slew of Nordic countries. And for a country that tries to lead by example when it comes to democracy, 22 is not the greatest place to be in.

For some reason, only Christian conservatives (and Karl Rove) get to define what's included in the category "moral values."

Bruni is not just extravagantly gorgeous, filthy rich, and commercially successful, she's also getting excellent reviews from grouchy critics, who generally don't take kindly to singing supermodels. Despite all these facts, you probably shouldn't hate her.
