Why couldn't he patch it up without killing a hippie? Seriously, protesting that the hippie was God in human form doesn't really answer the question. Why does God need a sacrifice to save people from himself? Why couldn't he just go ahead and decide not to be a dickbag? Also what, exactly are "sins," and how can they have any effect on an omnimax God? Why are they his business? If God really did decide to come...

In most cases, the police already have a pretty good guess of who the person is, and just need to verify it. So if you think it might be Jane Smith, then you go talk to Jane's dentist, ask her relatives, etc.

Medicare is an efficient organization. The cost of running it is minuscule. It is far more efficient than private corporations. Medicare is saddled with the people insurance companies do not want. The old and the long term ill. If Medicare could get paid to cover everybody, the cost would drop a ton. It would be so civilized.

I was flipping through The New York Times movie reviews a week or so ago and realized that I've never seen they or any other American reviewer give a foreign movie a bad review. What accounts for this? Do the foreign films that make it to the U.S. get here because they're that good? Is there a certain high-brow elitism that foreign flicks are more cultured and artistic?

The one certainty this year will be the massive British interest in Andy Murray's prospects of victory. As a reminder to citizens of the more successful tennis playing countries among us, this was last achieved by Fred Perry in 1936. Perry also emerged the winner in 1934 and 1935.
