Robert Kaplan is a professional downer. We are lucky to have him, but should be prepared to look beyond his hopeless worldview--its just blind idealism in reverse, and just as dangerous.

The last thing The Onion needs is more effusive praise, but I'll just say this anyway: Our Dumb Century is a flat-out brilliant, milk-spurting-out-of-your-nose tour de force of razor blade studded, dangerously informed wrecking ball humor. There, it's out.

The history of this century has been "written" with images. In the "The Tin Drum" SchlÃndorff deliberately recreates visually similar images to those in "The Triumph of the Will" to make the formerly spectacular seem everyday, namely in a political demonstration that is thrown off by a drumbeat and dispersed by a downpour. Did someone in Oklahoma miss the point?

For those too young to remember the presidency of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the name tends to evoke an awkward admixture of myth and reality.
