Your Turn: Overt enthusiasm, worship for Obama overlooks actual achievements
Jan. 21, 2009Kudos to Mr. Eisenman for his thoughtful and poetic assessment, which appeared in Monday's Post, of President Bush's first inauguration day. It's brimming with gray skies, ever-niggling emotions, and perhaps even Mr. Bush's overcoat - but there is a silver lining poisoning Mr. Eisenman's account and thy name is Obamania. The sheer thrill that we in Our Fair Nation experience every four years or so, of being partial, of having that very Jeffersonian say in The Way Things Go. This all is saccharine: the best part of being an American, of being a citizen, is having a say and an opinion, whether it is to be judged later to have value or not (as someone reading this is doubtless doing).

All of the Above: Nelson Market perfect spot for personality profiling
Jan. 21, 2009They say you are what you eat. If that's true, then I probably look like a giant Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream potato chip.

This week, I decided to dissect some of these market staples:

That's What She Said: TV movies teach valuable life lessons
Jan. 21, 2009My addiction to TV movies began in high school. It may have been born out of empathy for their circumstance. Since they're not TV series or feature films, TV movies are always awkward by virtue of definition alone. Maybe it stemmed from my belief that happiness is possible despite amnesia, alcoholism or crimes of passion. Whatever the source of this psychosis, I've discovered it has positive effects on my life.
Movie depicts gore, horror of vampires
Jan. 20, 2009The astounding popularity of the Twilight series of books has rekindled an interest in vampires across the country.

For those into horror but still wanting a human-vampire love story, Sweden brings Let the Right One In.
