He winces, he grimaces, his face clenches and sags. There's a glint of intelligence, augmented by genuine pleasure once in a long while, but Louis CK conveys an unhappy man with sad obsessions. His three shows in town this week figure to be the most amusing downers local audiences have had for a while.

Dana Carvey As Bush - Funny videos are here The antiwar left is not too happy about Obama’s national security choices. A speech Obama made six years ago indicates that Obama’s approach to foreign policy is much like that of George H.W. Bush. Obama may prove to be less an idealist than a realist.
