The dedicated group of hockey enthusiasts receives little outside financial support, but members meet weekly to compete and play the sport they love on a block of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the executive mansion.

With "Beyond Borders" (Paramount Pictures) out in theaters, some may be curious as to what director of "Golden Eye" Martin Campbell is doing casting "Tomb Raider" Angelina Jolie as a prissy socialite in the jungle. The day after I attended a panel and screening of the film, I had the opportunity to speak with Campbell on just what the deal is with his latest film.
Who is Eddie Izzard? Renaissance man. Decorated thespian. Male lesbian. Ideologist. Above all, it is worth noting that there is a beautiful mind underneath the MAC makeup and stiletto heels that distinguish him from his contemporaries.

There has been a lot of griping lately from supporters of President George W. Bush about the alleged hatred that his political opponents have for him. This has come up in The Hatchet, in the public press and on CNN's "Crossfire." The president's sympathizers have even used the term "pathological" to describe what they see as unprecedented and vitriolic hatred of Bush. Some of the president's strongest critics have been proclaiming loudly and proudly that they "hate" him, thus seeming to confirm his supporters' claims.
Twenty minutes. Twenty minutes is all that separates my home in Nebraska from the momentary epicenter of the political world, Iowa.
In regards to my absence last week, I apologize. I was busy with midterms and watching VH1's "I love the '80s Strikes Back." Plus, my parents were in town. However, I did take my folks to Lindy's for a pitcher of beer, so not all was wasted.
