Stars Make Teen Comedy Appealing
Sep. 30, 2008In preparation for the Oct. 17 release of Sex Drive, I took part in a telephone conference with three of the film's stars ' Josh Zuckerman, Amanda Crew and Clark Duke. The movie is about Ian (Zuckerman), who goes on a road trip to meet his Internet dream girl, who may or may not be who she claims, with Crew and Duke as his two best friends. I've seen the trailer and some clips, and wrote it off early as just another teen sex farce in which the somewhat-nerdy nice guy realizes the girl he really wants is the girl that's been in front of him the whole time.

A Hard Left Hook: McCain's record fueled economic catastrophe
Sep. 30, 2008Republican presidential candidate John McCain may say that he is for regulation of Wall Street, but don't be fooled: He has been the champion of financial deregulation in the Senate. In 1999, McCain voted for a bill that removed the barriers between financial institutions so that investment, banking and insurance could enjoy more market freedom. Those barriers were put into place after the Great Depression to ensure that another economic calamity would not occur. But disaster has occurred as a direct result of McCain's 1999 vote. That bill, by the way, was sponsored by McCain's former campaign chairman Phil Gramm who insisted that we are in a mental recession and said that we have become a nation of whiners.
