Tim Russert’s son, Luke, asked Barack Obama and John McCain to sit next to one another at his father’s funeral Wednesday. And they did. From the NYT -
“Then, in remarks from the pulpit, he exhorted them and other politicians to “engage in spirited debate but disavow the low tactics that distract Americans from the most important issues facing our country.” At the end of the service, the two candidates embraced.
“Five months from now,” Luke Russert said a few hours later, “I wanted them to remember that this occasion brought them together.””
I just think that’s extraordinary. Such a simple request. A profound gesture. Really kind of amazing. I have chills. Wow.
“‘The Love Guru’ is downright antifunny, an experience that makes you wonder if you will ever laugh again.”

“It’s lonely at the top. 99% of the world is convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre middle-ground. The level of competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming. It is easier to raise $10,000,000 than it is $1,000,000. It is easier to pick up the one perfect 10 in the bar than the five 8s.”

“Lately, I’ve noticed that writers of action and suspense films and TV shows are encountering an amusing new storytelling problem: How to explain why their protagonist doesn’t just use his cell phone to get himself out of a predicament.”
