a: Democracy in afghanistan ~
b: a power plant in Wisconsin
What: "Democracy in Afghanistan is like a power plant in Wisconsin; it won't work as well there rather than here. Afghanistan's economy is based upon agricultural and amounts to around $14 billion GDP. There is not a sufficient tax base to support an effective army. States exist to project coercive power and without a robust military force, Kabul will compete with local Taliban leaders to enforce laws and take taxes."

a: Buckaroo Banzai ~
b: decades of escapist pulp
What:
"Then there's Peter Weller, who, I am informed by Wikipedia, patterned his performance on "Elia Kazan, Jacques Cousteau, Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Adam Ant." Probably only Adam Ant shows up in the final result, but that's okay. Weller provides a stable, unflappable anchor for the proceedings, and the movie seems to take off from his post-New Wave demeanor. Buckaroo Banzai is like decades of escapist pulp filtered through the skeptic's shrug of the mid-'80s."
