Iraq as the 51st state: Interview with Juan Cole
“Debka” wrote yesterday that Allawi’s secret deal is to gain control of Saddam and his top 11 regime officials as hostages to guarantee his life. The insurgents will be given to understand that violence against the prime minister will be met with the fast trial and execution of a member of Saddam’s “dirty dozen.” As long as the insurgents attack only American, British and Iraqi troops, the deposed dictator and his men will languish in prison without trial.

"Less Is Best, Mr. Nabokov"
In April I submitted Vladimir Nabokov's short story "Torpid Smoke" to seven online manuscript evaluation services. Other than changing the title to "Russian Smoke" and Nabokov's name to Jonathan Shade, I left the piece unaltered. My online editors had some praise for the story, but also some suggestions on how to improve it. They each charged between three and fifteen dollars for their services…
Did Nabokov Plagiarized Lolita?
27.000 Miles through 48 States – On the road with kubrick’s 1964 version and with Adrian Lyne’s 1997 version. (Very slow downloads, but worth the wait. From The Lolita Chronology). Also the Magic Finger scene here.

Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11
I went to see Fahrenheit 9/11 last night, but in North Orange County, with its hundreds of movie theaters, it was shown on only three screens, and was sold out. (Shame on them theater owners). So I had to come back today for the matinee. I found the movie scary & extremely sad, and I think that every American should see it before the November election, in order to form their opinions accordingly.
Here are some reviews of the movie: Rotten Tomatoes gives it a “84% freshness” level. Slate’s David Edelstein says it describes it as "part prosecutorial brief and part rabid editorial cartoon: a blend of insight, outrage, and sniggering innuendo, the whole package threaded with cheap shots". Christopher Hitchens calls it dishonest and demagogic, and the NY-Times’ David Brooks compares Moore, unflatteringly, to Sartre. CNN claims that Fahrenheit 9/11 captures the zeitgeist
On IMDb, 3159 users have rated the movie during the first day with an average rating of 6.8. 62% gave it a 10, 29% gave it a 1. (By the way, see also the IMDb’s Top 250 movies as voted by their users)

Can’t tell jokes? Read on
A Rabbi came across a box he didn't recognize when he was looking around and inside he found 3 eggs and $2000. When his wife came home, he asked her to explain the contents to him. She told him that every time he had a bad sermon, she would put an egg in the box..........
He interrupted, "In twenty years, only three bad sermons, that's not bad."
His wife continued...... and every time I got a dozen eggs, I would sell them for $1." (You may have heard this old joke in many other variations. From Salt Shakers Jewish Jokes)
