Cheney in Azerbaijan for Georgia, energy talks

thewhiteprincess — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 00:02:05 +0000

BAKU, Azerbaijan (CNN) — Vice President Dick Cheney reiterated U.S. support for Georgia on the opening day of a tour of three former Soviet republics.

Vice President Dick Cheney arrives in Azerbaijan on Wednesday.

In remarks made after meeting the president of Azerbaijan, Cheney said the U.S. had an abiding interest in the region’s stability.

During the trip, which also takes in Ukraine and Georgia, the conflict between Georgia and Russia, and Moscow’s subsequent recognition of two breakaway Georgian provinces as independent will be high on the agenda.

Cheney said Wednesday: "One of the basic foundations of security and peace is respect for national borders — a principle that is endangered today.

"Although we decided on this visit months ago, we met this evening in the shadow of the recent Russian invasion of Georgia — an act that has been clearly condemned by the international community.

"President Bush has sent me here with a clear and simple message to the people of Azerbaijan and the entire region: The United States has deep and abiding interests in your well being and security."

Cheney’s trip began as U.S. government sources confirmed the Bush administration plans for a $1 billion aid package for Georgia.

Azerbaijan, which borders Georgia and Iran and sits along the Caspian Sea, is an oil and gas-rich nation and a key U.S. ally in the region.

The United States wants to ensure a diversity of energy supplies and supply routes to Europe, the administration official said, and countries like Azerbaijan are key to developing additional resources.

The official said the recent conflict with Russia means the United States and Europe are even more interested in diversifying energy infrastructure, pipelines and supplies to lessen Europe’s reliance on Russia as an energy provider.

"The level of confidence and trust that people have in Russia’s overall reliability has been put in serious question by what’s happened," the official said, "and I would assume t

Hamlet 2

elisabeth shue, get thee to a nunnery!hamlet 2 / nathaniel rogers

The first joke in Hamlet 2 was on me. When I sat down to watch this highly buzzed comedy I actually worried that I wouldn’t get all of the jokes. It’s not that I’m not familiar with the Bard — in fact, I’d just seen another production at Shakespeare in the Park — it’s just that with Hamlet, there’s so much to get. But I was in good company. Dana Marschz (Steve Coogan), the drama teacher hero of this demented farce, understands even less about Shakespeare than I do. He’s as adorably clueless about the Bard as I was about this movie.

San diego mesa college

No, Hamlet 2 is not the inappropriate sequel riff I thought it might be on Hamlet. Nor is it a classic in modern day comic drag a la Clueless’s take on Emma or, to keep it Shakespearean, Scotland PA’s greasy spoon version of Macbeth or 10 Things I Hate About You’s reworking of Taming of the Shrew. I bring up these movies because I think Dana might like them, even if he didn’t respect them. He prefers “inspirational” movies like Dead Poet’s Society or Mr. Holland’s Opus, which he hopes to restage at West Mesa High in Tucson Arizona with his drama class.

Dana takes Polonius’s advice “to thine ownself be true” painfully seriously, perhaps missing Shakespeare’s joke that Polonius isn’t exactly the best role model. The drama teacher is eager for self expression but ill equipped to express. Alas poor Dana, his jest is not infinite and his fancies are not excellent. He’s a failed actor whose greatest claim to fame might just be the leading role in a Herpes commercial (if only comedies as recklessly irreverent as Hamlet 2 proved so viral). He may be talentless but thankfully Steve Coogan has an abundance of it. The familiar actor is great fun to watch even if his merciless performance is sometimes cringe inducing: Did he really just say/do that?

Yes, he did.

Dana Marschz isn’t having a good year. He can’t get his angry wife (Catherine Keener) pregnant. They’re so poor they can’t afford a car and he has to rollerblade to work. His latest production, a stage version of Erin Brockovich has been, as he delicately puts it, “raped … in the face” by the high school’s teen critic. Worst of all, he receives news most foul that his beloved drama department will be shut down. It’s ‘A Midsemester Night’s Nightmare’ for this man who only has Drama in his life. To rescue his job, he realizes it’s time to stop borrowing from Hollywood and write his own material. He’ll stage a new hit with his class of homies straight out of Dangerous Minds. But first he’ll have to whip them into shape with Method Acting exercises (what kind of animal would you be?) and win their trust. It’s what inspirational teachers do. His grand idea: a sequel to Hamlet… a corrective if you will. Hamlet is so sad! It’s a great little meta joke: Dana’s still borrowing, though in truth it’d be unwise to say that the madhouse sequel (starring Jesus Christ. No, really) is Shakespearean. It’s definitely Marshczian.

Comedies that excessively play on or reference their audiences pop culture knowledge always run the risk of immediately dating themselves. So they’d better be funny in the right now. In this, Hamlet 2 succeeds. Whether it’s lampooning theater people (any fans of Waiting for Guffman in the house? The spirit of Corky St Clair lives on in Dana Marschz), having a laugh at the entire Inspirational Teacher genre, or exposing the limits of quippy dialogue without a star talent to deliver it (the Erin Brockovich scene is choice), it’s often quite funny. Even the less complicated maneuvers elicit chuckles; The star cameos mostly deliver (Amy Poehler I salute you), the slapstick is silly, and when “Sexy Jesus” arrives in the outre production of Hamlet 2 the movie is clearly very drunk on its own dementia. I’m not sure that it’s as funny as it thinks it is but I was still laughing.

But is there something rotten in the state of Tucson? Many jokes are had at the town’s expense, but I’m speaking about the movie. The taboo comedy topic of molestation didn’t win Freddy Got Fingered many fans. Will Hamlet 2 get away with it since it’s actually, you know, funny? Good taste can be a death knell for good comedy but even so, not all the mean-spirited laughs in Hamlet 2 work. I had trouble with Keener’s bitch sans wheels. The actress had been expanding her career and performance range of late dropping unexpected warmth and depth into her filmography even in the context of raunchy comedies like this one (think The 40 Year Old Virgin) but she’s just plain unlikable …

it was a foregone conclusion that chris “mad dog” russo was heading to sirius satellite radio, but it it will be made official today at 10:30am at sirius hq on sixth avenue in nyc….it appears siriux/xm receiver is ready put an end to the speculation and officially announce chris “mad dog” russo as their newest sports host.the satellite boom box provider has scheduled a press talk for tomorrow morning to announce the to boot of a “major sports media personality.” a representative would not confirm that the press conference was called to harbinger russo, but the inference is fairly obvious.it was reported that howard churlish spoke on his sirius/xm morning that russo could be brought on imminently. it is not yet clear if russo will get his own channel, like stern, or just host a sports present. as it said in the measure out above, the form of the broadcast show is not yet known, but the deal is projected to be large and certainly long-term. it’s a great hire for sirius because russo is cut of the stony mold, and is yet another bombastic personality the transistor network can add to its stable. for wfan for all that, it’s seemingly a unusual of the difficult road ahead. francesa isn’t strong enough to bear the depict on his own, and if you add to that the fact that the mets and esiason deals are up eventually, you’re looking at some stern choices for the am station.sirius xm likely to reckon mad dog tomorrow (ny post)(photo via tsh)

Qantas Flight 30: A Video’s Worth A Thousand Words

For an industry with an enviable safety record, the emergency landing of a Qantas 747 in Manila on Friday is a big deal. There’s a huge investigation underway as to what caused the giant gash in the plane’s fuselage, and here at wired.com we’re on top of the different theories and the progress of the investigation.

But first, we want to take a look at exactly what happened inside the cabin that day. While I would have been hanging on for dear life, one passenger who had it together actually used her cell phone to record the final minutes of the flight. It’s on YouTube, and it’s definitely legit:

My first impression after watching this video? The situation was definitely an emergency, but it may not have been the near catastrophe that some members of the press are making it out to be.

For one thing, it seems pretty calm. There’s a little screaming during the first few seconds of the video, but people are in their seats and there aren’t SkyMall catalogs flying through (though it is loud, and it’s hard to tell if this is ordinary engine noise or due to the holein the fuselage). A few people are in the brace position with their arms pushed up against the seat in front of them (I would have been among them), but most are not. Were the flight attendants to busy to get everyone into the crash position or was it deemed unnecessary?

One strange thing: the seat back monitors were left on, which means passengers could see exactly how fast the plane was losing speed and altitude. Of course the crew had better things to do than mess with the in-flight entertainment system, but this must have been terrifying for passengers to watch, especially during the 6,000 foot emergency descent.

And finally: it looks like passengers disembarked via jetway and stairs, not the emergency slides. If this had been a life-threatening emergency, those slides would have been out in a minute.

This almost eerily calm video seems to contradict some media reports of chaos inside the cabin. One story quotes passengers who say they had to share masks or smash ceiling panels to get at them, and that children were screaming and turning blue. Another passenger says his mask fell off his face because the elastic headband had deteriorated.

If these stories are true (and why would passengers lie?) then either the crew did an amazing job getting people calmed down before the landing, or the video didn’t capture the full extent of the situation. From where she sat it looks bad, but it doesn’t look like a free for all.
