Two years ago, when Woody Allen first announced a film in the works starring Larry David, I was peeing-in-my-pants excited. How could Curb Your Enthusiasm meets Annie Hall possibly go wrong? When Whatever Works finally came out last year, however, I found out how. It went wrong. Terribly, terribly wrong. It didn’t stoop to Twilight levels or anything, but I had such high expectations and the movie fell totally, depressingly flat. (more)

This may seem like an odd question for a political movement inspired by the infamous Boston Tea Party of December 1773, which helped spark the American Revolution against the rule of King George III. But as the hugely successful modern-day grassroots organisation threatens a new revolution on Capitol Hill this November, and may play a key role in ejecting Barack Obama from the White House in 2012, policy makers in London should be thinking about the positive implications for Anglo-American relations of a conservative-dominated, post-Obama era in the United States.

The release of thousands of classified documents by WikiLeaks is an act of political warfare against the United States. It was a publicity stunt to promote the organization’s leader, but also an attempt by non-US citizens to manipulate American perceptions of our soldiers’ actions and political leaders’ policies. Luckily the American public WikiLeaks intended to demoralize is savvy enough not to be thrown off balance by classified reports confirming the difficult factors of the current war. They also understand that some information must be restricted: our enemies do not operate from an open playbook and neither should the U.S. However, the leak will result in serious damage to national security and is yet another crisis in which the Obama administration has been caught utterly unprepared for the dangerous world we confront and the malefactors throughout. To prevent further damage, the WikiLeaks web site should be shut down—via cyberwarfare if necessary. (more)
