Обама закончил войну с террором и хочет дружить с исламистами
Казалось бы, такую эпохальную новость нужно было бы озвучить самому Бараку Хусейну. Но эта задача по каким-то причинам была возложена на плечи непоименованного сотрудника госдепартамента. «Война с террором кончилась», –...

Кобзон и оккупанты Уолл-стрит
«Наверное, это бюрократическая инерция, – предположил манхэттенский адвокат Джулиан Лоуэнфелд по поводу очередного отказа госдепартамента США выдать въездную визу российскому эстрадному певцу Иосифу Кобзону. – Они, видимо, снова исходили из...

Spring is in the air and I am super excited. This means it’s almost bikini season (translation: start preparing for that beach perfect skin). I use this oatmeal and flaxseed based scrub on days when I feel my skin is sensitive and needs a mild scrub that also deeply hydrates. This scrub is a great “transition” product in that it is moisturizing enough to keep your skin hydrated through the last of the dry winter days, yet it is still exfoliating, so your skin will equally be ready to hit the beach in that itty-bitty! Here’s what you’ll need: (Makes...
Ah… Spring. I, like many of you, love the spring for a host of reasons. Spring brings to mind the flowers in bloom, the warming temperatures that bring us out of our caves to bask in the sunshine, and with it, the numerous outdoor activities many of us enjoy. March Madness, the NCAA Basketball Tournament, begins a frenetic cacophony of sporting events including the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs for hockey, the looming NBA Playoffs, and my personal favorite, baseball season. Every spring I am reminded of the wonderful art of hitting a spherical ball with a cylindrical bat in the sport of...
The first time my mother received a phone call home from one of my teachers was when, at five years old, I hit a classmate over the head with my metal Aladdin pencil case. Later, at home, laughably tiny in the green skirt of my school uniform, staring at her wide-eyed from between the strands of my unevenly sheared bangs, I emphatically reasoned, “But he tried to steal my pencil!” and held it up for her to see, pointing at the label she had placed on it herself with my name printed in bold. One of the last times occurred...
The new Russian film “Generation P,” based on a novel by Victor Pelevin (one of Russia’s most important contemporary writers), follows the picaresque adventures of Babilen Tatarsky through the booming world of advertising in the early years of post-Soviet Russia. Named after Babi Yar and Lenin, our hero is first seen sporting a sweet mullet and working at a Moscow kiosk run by Chechen gangsters, spending his time reading and studying the hands of his clients as a means of predicting their consumer habits. A failed poet and graduate of the Literary Institute of Moscow, Babilen begins his ascent...
A little over a year ago, in a car on our way to Monterey, I turned to my best friend all passionate and self-righteous and said, “You know what I understand even less than men? Women who give things up once they have men.” “How do you mean?” “You know, those girls who turn into domesticated, you-jump-I-jump kind of psychopaths who all of a sudden disappear from the realm of the social. Or put their boyfriends over their close friends. Or start doing crazy things like making sandwiches and baked goods, and doing laundry together. What the hell is that?”...

The first time I went to Europe, like most tourists, I took pictures; only I did so with the zeal of a foreign spy. I would even try to act nonchalant and snap pictures without looking because, goodness, I’m not a tourist or anything. There was no quirky building unnoticed by my lens and no end for my desire to make this experience last as long as possible. And judging by all the photos of trips people upload to Facebook alone, I think it’s a common sentiment. The saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” But what if...
In the opening scenes of the new documentary about the world’s wealthiest state prisoner, German filmmaker Cyril Tuschi explains that his ambivalence concerning his subject’s character and political situation was the reason he decided to embark on this project. A dedicated socialist, Tuschi admits that he initially saw Mikhail Khodorkhovsky as the kind of ruthless philistine capitalist that his progressive parents warned him about as a child. But his curiosity was aroused by the oligarch’s decision to return to Russia and face certain imprisonment rather than live abroad in freedom like many of his colleagues. Over the course of...
The Consumer Electronics Show: those of us who are early adopters of new technology, the people that like to see the shiny, new gadgets, all await the major announcements and product demonstrations that accompany the CES. All the major players such as Intel, Samsung, and Sony show up to CES touting their cool new wingdings, doohickies, and other stuff that your grandpa never could have imagined. One notable name missing from the agenda: Apple, Inc. Apple has its own version of CES, albeit a much smaller one, at Moscone Center compared to the enormous extravaganza put on display in Las...
