Best friend. Hero. Marine. Max is all of these, and what’s more, he’s a dog. “Max” is also a movie, and as a family film mixed with adventure-film intensity, it’s something to woof home about. You may think you’re looking at a German shepherd, but Max is a Belgian Malinois, a member of the sheep-herding family to be sure. But this is a breed so strong, agile, smart and hard-working that it has become in many corners the “dog of choice” among the military as well as law enforcement. The movie is a work of fiction, but it is an...

As newly minted princess Kate Middleton greeted Michelle Obama in the ornate surroundings of Buckingham Palace Tuesday, it was hard to believe she was wearing a $340 dress from British retailer Reiss — a frock any commoner could buy. (snip) While Michelle Obama has also been applauded for wearing clothes from affordable stores such as J.Crew and H&M, she also favors big-name designers such as Jason Wu and Isabel Toledo. The floral Barbara Tfank dress she wore to meet Middleton this week cost at least $2,000.

Jocelyn Elise Crowley (Colmes) is the wife of leftist Alan Colmes of Hannity and Colmes fame. She was on the show last evening touting her book. This review from Amazon.com says it all: If you Google Jocelyn Elise Crowley, you'll find that she's a professor of Woman's Studies. So it's no wonder she's written a book that trashes the fathers rights movement. On the last page (269) we find the statement: "Why should men alter their political agenda to help secure equality for women?" Which is what she is proposing as the conclusion to this book. On page 11, she...

Providing a kaleidoscopic upgrade to creatures that are largely colorblind, scientists have endowed mice with a human gene that allows the rodents to see the world in full Technicolor splendor. The advance, which relied on imaginative tests to confirm that the mice can perceive all the hues that people see, helps resolve a long-standing debate about how color vision arose in human ancestors tens of millions of years ago. That seminal event brought a host of practical advantages, such as the ability to spot ripe fruit, and unveiled new aesthetic pleasures -- autumn foliage, magenta sunsets and the blush of...

I M P E A C H M E N Th e a r --c l i n t o n --l o s e --i t by Mia T, 11.11.05   MIDDLING Twenty presidents rank higher than bill clinton and 20 rank lower. But this placement assumes equal weight for each of the presidential dimensions. And therein lies the flaw. If 9/11 taught us anything, it is that presidential character and moral authority count, and count most.4 If the variables are properly weighted, bill clinton will always come out dead last. That is, unless Americans are dumb enough...

<p>I appreciate the opportunity to speak to you at this first U.N. conference on anti-Semitism, which is being convened six decades after the organization's creation.</p> <p>My thanks to the U.N. organizers and in particular Shashi Tharoor [the undersecretary-general for communications and public information] for their initiative and to the secretary-general for his willingness to engage. This meeting occurs at a point when the relationship between Jews and the United Nations is at an all-time low. The U.N. took root in the ashes of the Jewish people, and according to its charter was to flower on the strength of a commitment to tolerance and equality for all men and women and of nations large and small.</p>

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS YEAR WAS ONCE AGAIN FILLED WITH DOUBLE-STANDARDS AT THE EXPENSE OF CONSERVATIVES AND REPUBLICANS. * BUSH WAS BASHED BY THE MEDIA, PUBLIC, AND CELEBS AS BEING A WARMONGER... NO ONE MADE A BIG DEAL OVER THE FACT THAT BUSH SIGNED A LANDMARK AGREEMENT WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN THAT WOULD REDUCE BOTH COUNTRY'S NUCLEAR ARSENALS BY 2/3! WHAT TYPE OF WARMONGER WOULD TAKE SUCH A GIGANTIC STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION? * TRENT LOTT CAME UNDER EXTREMELY HEAVY FIRE FOR SAYING THAT THE U.S. WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF IF STROM THURMOND HAD BECOME PRESIDENT... YET THE MEDIA WAS NEARLY...
