Cops Corner

A man walked out of a bar without paying his $52 bar tab. He drank eight Budweisers and five vodka cocktails. The manager followed him outside and gave him one last chance to pay his tab. The man began to argue with the manager and then got in his pickup truck and drove away. But he forgot one very important thing, he left his driver's license at the bar when he opened the tab.

Film Review: 'In the loop'

Political satires are a tough sell on the big screen. Films such as 'Wag the Dog' and 'Primary Colors' never came close to the genius that fueled Stanley Kubrick's 'Dr. Strangelove' in 1964. But writer/director Armando Iannucci's first feature film, 'In the Loop,' is on the right track because it watches Washington spin and sell the insanities of war.
