HAROLD & KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE / *** (R): "Danny Leiner, who directed this film, began his career with 'Dude, Where's My Car?' I inexplicably missed that movie, but I laughed often enough during the screening of 'Harold & Kumar' that afterward I told Dann Gire, distinguished president of the Chicago Film Critics' Assn., that I thought maybe I should rent 'Dude' and check it out. Dann cautioned me that he did not think it was all that urgent. Still another reason our leader's photograph should be displayed in every government office and classroom."

Yahoo! News - Bush Says She Discussed Gesture With Jenna
: "Her advice to her daughter? 'Maybe you should work on your issues of impulsiveness or something,' she recalled.



Bush wouldn't offer similar advice to John Kerry (news - web sites)'s wife, who has told an insistent reporter to 'shove it' and responded to Bush supporters' chants of 'Four more years!' by saying 'They want four more years of hell.'"
ESPN.com - GEN - OTL: LeMond levels more criticism at Lance: "'He basically said 'I could find 10 people that will say you took EPO,' ' LeMond said. 'He basically said, 'You know, come on, everybody's done it,' basically kind of like 'hey everybody, EPO's fairly common.' '
LeMond also claims that Armstrong's camp threatened his business interests.
'The week after, I got multiple people that were on Lance ... Lance's camp, basically saying 'you better be quiet,' and I was quiet for three years,' LeMond said. 'I have a business ... I have bikes that are sold ... and I was told that my sales might not be doing too well if ... just the publicity, the negative publicity.'"
