Roger Ebert‘s gone a bit soft but he makes an excellent point within his review of “The Hesher”:
When did grief counseling become an occupation, anyway? Whenever a demented loner opens fire at a school, grief counselors are platooned in. Just what a kid needs when his schoolmates have been murdered: A session with a stranger who wants to talk about how he feels. Perhaps grief is better dealt with among people one knows and trusts.

Prof. Gingrich: "Blow me and I'll give you an A"
I assume Michelle Bachmann’s opposition research team has already dug this up, but if not, they owe me some of that Glenn Beck-endorsed gold.

Wow. Is it true you used to play poker with Newt Gingrich on a regular basis?
No, I don’t know how that got printed, but I love lies much more than truths. I met (Gingrich) once in the 1970s when he was long-haired environmentalist. (Laughs). Isn’t that crazy?
