Cal Thomas: Who’s influential?
- Time magazine has published another one of those silly and meaningless lists some in the media occasionally and irritatingly compile to validate their self-importance. It is the 100 “most influential people in the world.” I didn’t make it, but then I don’t make other lists like People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive,” which must be an oversight.
Melanie Scarborough: Leftist activists unsympathetic to polygamist women in Texas
- It all comes down to good PR. Sporting their prairie dresses and pompadours, the women of that Texas polygamist sect just aren’t cool enough to attract sympathy from the usual defenders of “non-traditional families.” Rosie O’Donnell isn’t running her bilious yap. The American Civil Libeties Union hasn’t filed any amicus briefs on behalf of the plural wives. Brad Pitt hasn’t vowed not to marry the mother of his children until polygamists also are free to wed.

Brad Pitt talks about celebrity
- Brad Pitt can relate to the legendary outlaw Jesse James — not because he’s ever harbored a desire to rob banks or roam the countryside blasting away with a six-shooter, but because James was the foremost celebrity of his day and somewhat blinded by the glare of the spotlight. “I don’t think James enjoyed the level of fame he had,” says Pitt, who grew up in Springfield, Mo., less than 200 miles from the desperado’s childhood home. “It was something he was trapped behind. He’s been portrayed 125 times in film, so that speaks to his level of celebrity. Back then, it was him and Mark Twain, and that’s about it.

Review: 'Jesse James' ruthless, ambitious
- Andrew Dominik’s “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” tells the story of one of America’s most infamous outlaws, a fearless robber who, thanks to a sympathetic press, became an unlikely folk hero. As cunning as he was elusive, the leader of the notorious James Gang artfully dodged the authorities for years until one of his trusted accomplices, Robert Ford, murdered him. Dominik’s film captures the details of their saga in exhaustive but fascinating detail, and though it features sporadic bursts of brutality, it is neither sensational nor cartoonishly biased.
