We keep hearing buzz about the upcoming movie How To Lose Friends And Alienate People. It's based on the novel by the same name and stars Simon Pegg as a disillusioned British guy who moves to NY and offered a job at Sharps Magazine, which is ultra conservative.
His 24/7 antics quickly make him the talk of the town, and he befriends starlet Sophie Maes, played by Megan Fox, and then falls for colleague Allison Olsen, played by Kirsten Dunst.

I’m not quite sure how Toby Young’s life story came to be a book or a movie, but luckily they got Simon Pegg to translate Young’s arrogance into comedy.
The Book:
Reading this book made me angry. Throughout Toby Young’s memoirs you want to reach through the pages and strangle him for being such an enormous idiot.

On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it. Far easier for him to stay in his hotel room, cocooned in five-star luxury with a mobile phone that has run out of charge, safe at least from the girls chanting his name outside. Robert Pattinson, 23 and from Barnes in southwest London, ought still to be one of Hollywood’s beautiful dreamers, moving up the ranks of movie acting, enjoying his American adventure, his guitar, his good looks.

Scientific Pretense vs. Democracy
By Angelo M. Codevilla
“We will restore science to its rightful place…”
—Barack Obama
Unpacked, this sentence means: “Under my administration, Americans will have fewer choices about how they live, and fewer choices as voters because, rightfully, those choices should be made by officials who rule by the authority of science.”
Thus our new president intends to accelerate a trend a half-century old in America but older and further advanced in the rest of the world.

Bow-ow-ow: Obama's painful missteps
Let the new president grow into the job -- but he'd better do it fast!
Plus: Readers ask about everything from talk radio, morality
By Camille Paglia
Dear Camille,

Dramatic Advances Sweep Iraq, Boosting Support for Democracy
ABC News/BBC/NHK National Survey of Iraq
ANALYSIS by GARY LANGER
Dramatic advances in public attitudes are sweeping Iraq, with declining violence, rising economic well-being and improved services lifting optimism, fueling confidence in public institutions and bolstering support for democracy.

The sweeping rebound, extending initial improvements first seen a year ago, marks no less than the opportunity for a new future for Iraq and its people.
