At the same time, Vice President Dick Cheney slapped Russia ’ s Putin, with the most open attack on its internal human rights policy as well as its energy policy in a speech in the Baltic state of Lithuania in early May. There, Cheney declared of Russia, ‘ the government has unfairly and improperly restricted the rights of her people. ’ He accused Russia of energy ‘ intimidation and blackmail. ’ Some days later, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reiterated that Russia should be ‘ pressed ’ on democratic reforms. Rice also slapped China in the face in March during a trip to Southeast Asia, calling China a ‘ negative force ’ in Asia.

Everyone else has been posting the Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Shiloh Nouvel family photo, and I feel like joining in because the folks at People magazine, for whom I worked with modest satisfaction in the L.A. bureau office for 20 months (August'96 to April'98), paid $4.1 million for the photo rights, and it feels good to help show it around to help diminish the allure of the print version showing up later this week. Call it a sincere gesture from the heart.

The offer was part of a package of incentives presented to Tehran Tuesday by European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, said the diplomats, who were familiar with the proposals. The diplomats demanded anonymity in exchange for discussing details of the offer, which was agreed on last week by six world powers in a bid to resolve the nuclear standoff with Iran.

Just to let you all know, if you trade in your DS to EB Games, you get $50 store credit. Perfect to put towards a new DS Lite! In fact, today and tomorrow, EB Games is giving $70 store credit! Don't believe me? Click here! I don't believe you need that coupon, as my friend Eric and I went tonight and got the extra $20 credit when we turned our Dses in. I'm glad they let me keep it's leash. I'm going to miss it. :( Anyway, trade away! (Don't know about the Nintendo DS Lite? Here and here are some great links for you to see.)

Which means, of course, AJ Crowley and Aziraphale to the rescue! (Which, patently, are simply the cover identities for Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, respectively.) Let's hope they can help prevent some of the more crackheaded members of the US Congress from screwing over the Constitution and fifty states tomorrow. It's supposed to give rights, not take them away! * * Granted, they tried this already in 1919 with Amendment XVIII. The fact that Amendment XXI was written expressly to repeal that amendment and transfer the power to mandate liquor sales back to the states should say something about which changes are acceptable and which ones are just plain stupid.

I'm such a sucker for all things horror, though. I'll watch just about anything scary, gory, spooky or goopy and rationalize why it's worth my time (my money is a different story). Here's what I've come up with so far with this one: While Julia Stiles seems too young to play Damien's mom Katherine Thorn (played by Lee Remick in the original), I'm a fan of Liev Schreiber so I think he could probably pull off the role of the tortured father Robert Thorn (originally played by Gregory Peck). We've also got Mia Farrow returning to her horror roots and taking over as the nanny of the son of the devil. The original was also done 30 years ago without a lot of special effects. With today's big film budgets, this one has to have some serious computer generated scares, right?

• 1. Boston Pops. In the worst slaughter of a Becket (t) since 1170 in the Canterbury Cathedral, the Red Sox handed over first place to the Yankees after New York's 13-5 home win. Jason Giambi fought off a "stomach virus" to hit a three-run home run, and Andy Phillips also had a three-run blast as Josh Beckett took the loss. Mike Mussina (8-1) was the winner. Boston fans are wondering when the Yankees will get their regular lineup back so that the Sox can get back into first.

It seems, to me at least, that what really matters is not what is said but who is saying it. Imagine, for instance, that Jerry Falwell had put those words in a Flash presentation on his website, or Pat Robertson on his. Would we be reading about it in tomorrow ’ s paper? Most certainly. Would we who call ourselves Christians hear demands that we distance ourselves from the statement? No question.

This year's draft is led off by the Kansas City Royals, who seem to enjoy holding that spot or near that spot every year. With the hiring of Dayton Moore (editor's note: DAMMIT), that may soon change. However, the Royals, sans Moore's help in this draft, are targetting Luke Hochevar who took a year off (read: got drafted by the Dodgers, refused to sign, re-entered the draft). He's a right hander with plenty of skills that the Royals feel still top the draft list. Keep an eye out for Andrew Miller and Brad Lincoln (who's last name just so happens to be the same as a top-notch car that I drive). They could easily slip into the top spot if the Royals'tastes change.

It could have been better, but it could have been a lot worse. The film far exceeds the first film in the trilogy in terms of quality, but runs into the same problems that same film encountered; there are simply too many characters for the film's own good. Very likely those unfamiliar with the Dark Phoenix Saga will be left in the dark (ugh .... no pun intended), and the countless in-jokes and comic references will proably grow tiresome to those same people. Even worse, every character new to the franchise is wasted, most notably Ben Foster's Angel and Kelsey Grammar's Beast. Director Brett Ratner didn't screw things up anywhere as badly as was expected, but Bryan Singer's trademark relatability, and character development, would have made the film even better.

Apparently the couple will refrain from sending any paper invitations, instead relying on emails and phone calls? I'm sure the question you are all wondering is how does one get ahold of that email address list! :-)

I've always assumed that at least some of the hatred of Wal-mart is driven by the desire to keep the workers and peasants in their place (see Tory opposition to the Industrial Revolution, for example). Now Wal-mart is being denounced by Michael Pollan in the New York Times for daring to sell organic foods to the masses. Why, that will lead to mass production and cheap prices, which goes against the ethos of hyper-expensive organic food from hyper-expensive boutique stores. Can't have those people eating like us.

Alan Garcia won in Peru by running against Venezuela ’ s megalomaniac-in-chief, Hugo Chavez. Felipe Calderon ’ s tv ads have tie Lopez Obrador to Chavez (and the AP mentions that briefly toward the end of the article). I wrote a piece for Strategypage a few weeks ago on this subject – any tie between Lopez Obrador and Chavez is very tenuous at best.
