...Here Lies Love echo the records Imelda might have danced to at New York discothques a few decades earlier. "Ladies in Blue," a tribute to the pill-popping entourage that surrounded the "Iron Butterfly," as she was known, recalls the cooing stomp of ABBA; Kate Pierson of the B-52s belts "The Whole Man" as if it's one of her own hits.

The other menu items are fairly...
...learned in Vietnam that Ho Chi Minh's "hearts and minds" approach could withstand burning showers of napalm and carpet-bombing from B-52s. The poison of Islamic fundamentalism will survive any aggression we mount against it. Roots don't submit to violence. (Chop up a crabgrass root, and it breeds a dozen new offspring.) You have to patiently dig and dig, and never give up until the job's done. (See pictures of Saudi Arabia's Jihad Rehab Camp...
