In the wake of Ned Lamont's victory over Sen. Joe Lieberman and the news that British authorities had arrested several suspects in the foiled British terror plot, a number of media figures have linked the Iraq war with the effort to combat terrorism -- echoing the Republican talking point that Iraq is the "central front" in the fight against terrorism.

The political party that is known for nothing if not for politicizing the War on Terror claims to be upset that Vice President Dick Cheney was "politicizing" the war when he suggested that Ned Lamont's primary victory over Joe Lieberman could embolden terrorists. Couldn't they please spare us the phony outrage for a change?

Reading this post's headline, one might think Cinecultist is referring to John C. Reilly, Will Ferrell's cast mate from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Or maybe the ever brilliant, and increasingly Peter Sellers-esque, Sacha Baron Cohen. Sorry, no it's a more minor cast member that we totally dug. Cinecultist hearts the cougar because she's named Karen! Isn't that the silliest coincidence? The cougar represents Ricky Bobby's fear of the road and it is personified by a man-eating big cat with our name. During CC's screening of the movie, we thought maybe we were just projecting, but confirmation from friends who saw it later and various fanboy message pages agree.

A Pentagon consultant said that the Bush White House “ has been agitating for some time to find a reason for a preëmptive blow against Hezbollah. ” He added, “ It was our intent to have Hezbollah diminished, and now we have someone else doing it. ” (As this article went to press, the United Nations Security Council passed a ceasefire resolution, although it was unclear if it would change the situation on the ground.)

The piece is called “ Mr. Ahmadinejad ’ s Neighborhood, ” and it focused on that CBS interview Sunday night that pitted the aging lion Mike Wallace against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Red Sox 3 - Tigers 7well, it certainly appears that the perfect cure for a slumping AL Central team is to play the Sox these days. First the Royals have their way with Boston, now Detroit comes into Fenway on a three-game losing streak and lights up Josh Beckett and the Sox. Coupled with a Yankee win, the Red Sox are two games back again in the AL East. I hope they can get it turned around and get some momentum going into this weekend. The Yankees are coming to Fenway for a Five-game series that, despite it being August, could decide the AL East once and for all.

A new Zogby poll finds that "three quarters of Americans can correctly identify two of Snow White's seven dwarfs while only a quarter can name two Supreme Court Justices." Moreover, "twice as many people (23 percent) were able to identify the most recent winner of the television talent show'American Idol,'Taylor Hicks, as were able to name the Supreme Court Justice confirmed in January 2006, Samuel Alito (11 percent)." You can find the ABC News piece with further results here.

'Miami Vice'is, dare I say it, dull. And coming from Michael Mann, that is a terrible thing. Sure, it does have a nice visual style, but I have never seen so many bored actors delivering boring dialogue in my life. And the story isn't much better. First off, it doesn't really make much sense, half the time I was going "huh?" trying to figure out what was what, and what the hell was going on. It became a frusterating chore. Secondly, the story never really takes off, it's really quite boring and very, very,

The big story today is the fact that Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is claiming a "strategic and historic" victory in Lebanon. Having proven Hezbollah's ability to protect Lebanon from an Israeli invasion, he feels it would be a mistake to disarm his forces and turn the territory over to UNIFIL or the Lebanese army.

Is there anything positive that could come out of this debacle? Or will Israeli forces simply continue the “ routine ” rampage, killings, and home demolitions (which had been ongoing in Gaza and the West Bank)?

Well call me Shirley and slap a moron sticker on my ass .... Maybe I am in the minority, but I actually thought Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson were a match made in weirdo/hippy heaven. As you may have heard, the two have announced that they are separating. Bummer. Although, Kate did make comments in the past about having an open relationship or some such thing... so, me thinks Chris was probably a horny dude not willing to settle for one woman. Esp. a woman with no ta-tas! Orrrr .... maybe he just saw what Goldie Hawn looks like these days and was afraid Kate would follow in her tracks.

It ’ s not Congo — it ’ s Israel. Everybody knows that Iranian engineers have been advising Hezbollah on tunnels and underground gun emplacements. And so the Air Force went to the Israelis with some new tactics and said to them, ‘ Let ’ s concentrate on the bombing and share what we have on Iran and what you have on Lebanon. ’ ” The discussions reached the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, he said.
