...since taking office in 2006, but demonstrators squeezed by spiraling food costs say they're tired of waiting for a solution to their constant hunger. "We used to be hungry enough to drink Clorox," a local mechanic told TIME by phone from Port-au-Prince. "Now it's battery acid - it gets the job done quicker." Last week, Preval had said he understood the frustrations, and quipped that if people started to protest, they should stop by the palace and pick him up. In an ironic twist, that may have prompted them to break into the palace Monday. Preval...

...beats within the style that has defined you may seem to make the most sense artistically, but for Del it seems to detract from the appeal of his overall sound; the work of a true producer is sorely missed. While funk may be the world in which he lives, acid rap is the world in which he best creates. But don’t despair: things are looking up for the return of Deltron 0 with the release of “Deltron: Event II” right around the corner...

...class Democrats couldn't stomach Dukakis' opposition to the death penalty. In both years, the primaries exposed bitter ideological divisions that came back to haunt the party in November. In 1972 Democrat Henry (Scoop) Jackson, in his bid for blue-collar primary votes, called McGovern the candidate of "amnesty, acid and abortion"--a line that Richard Nixon borrowed to devastating effect. In 1988 it was a young Al Gore who first brought up Dukakis' furlough program for convicted murderers in Massachusetts, a program that George H. W. Bush infamously associated with Willie Horton...

...Alex’s catty girlfriend, and Diane (Maureen Keiller), Mitchell’s agent, become entangled in the events, which begin to spiral out control under the press’ watchful eye. Certainly, when Beane wants laughs, he is capable of conjuring them. His greatest creation is Diane. Acid-tongued and relentless, she is single-mindedly driven to purchase the rights for a play in which Mitchell will (heroically) portray a gay man. Her willingness to verbally abuse all comers into submission until the terms of the contract read “in perpetuity through the end of time?...
