Despite selling out the TD Banknorth Garden and having the most successful comedy CD not containing the words "Git," "R" or "Done," Dane Cook can't make it click when it comes to movies. Is it that the frantic gestures that serve him so well onstage seem overblown and superfluous on screen? Or perhaps it's that he lacks substantive insight into his characters? Oh, wait, no -- it's that his movies are fucking terrible. He seems in no danger of breaking that streak with Good Luck Chuck, where it looks like he'll mercifully take Jessica Alba down with him. Cook plays Chuck, a single thirtysomething who grapples with a rather unlikely curse: Any woman who has sex with him immediately moves on to find her true love. Cook's haters say the story has an autobiographical edge, since many who've had sex with him only subsequently realized that they actually loved another man: Louis C.K.

Health and Human Services Public Hearing

By Naoko Yoshida on Wed, Sep 10, 2008 12:53 am

“One of the most heart breaking things for me is the great number of homeless veterans,” said Ralph Cooper, executive director of Veterans Benefits Clearinghouse. “As you can tell, I’m getting older and my gray hair tells the truth. You can’t imagine how painful it is for me to talk with men and women who served in Vietnam, men and women who are young, coming back from Afghanistan and Iraq and they are homeless. How disgraceful is that?”
