Rat Tales

Check out my new story in the Hollywood issue of Vanity Far (March, 2007) on Rush Hour director Brett Ratner. He said he liked it. This morning his mother called me and said she liked it. So I hope you like it.

The best piece in the issue I think is Craig Unger's story on the U.S.'s reckless plans for an airstrike on Iran: "From the Wonderful Folks Who Brought You Iraq": "The same neocon idealogues behind the Iraq war have been using the same tactics—alliances with shady exiles, dubious intelligence on W.M.D.—to push for the bombing of Iran. As President Bush ups the pressure on Tehran, is he planning to double his Middle East bet?"

This is a please read, a must read. But it isn't enough to read anymore, we have to act. Contact your Congresspeople immediately. I saw the talking heads on Scarborough Country the other night yakking away as if a military encounter with Iran is already a done deal—"inevitable," Scarborough said. Where do they get off? It isn't what most of us want—and it's totally nuts.
