More From Martin Gardner

The second type you have at these parades seems to be the people who want to mislabel hitler. everybody in the world is hitler. bush is hitler, ashcroft is hitler, rumsfeld is hitler. the only guy who isn't hitler is the foreign guy with a mustache dropping people who disagree with him into the wood chipper. he's not hitler.

You're talking to a modern, nice, affable german person and they're saying to you something like 'you know, vell, it's a critical time now for germany within europe, also globally, economically ve are pretty good, ve have been better. but ve are very vibrant in the theater and arts...' and all the time you'll be listening to this, you're thinking mmm, yeah, mmm... hitler, hitler, hitler, hitler, hitler.

Valentines day is being marketed as a date movie. i think its more of a first-date movie. if your date likes it, do not date that person again. and if you like it, there may not be a second date.
