...pleasant enough diversion. That first track, though, is almost enough to make you give up on the album. The song is called “San Francisco,” and it’s about a guy who leaves a bad relationship for the City by the Bay. From the way he tells it, though, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the girl’s fault that things went bad. For example: “Go if you wanna go / But I won’t follow / Just so you know...
...awful clubs from economically hurting swing states, battling it out for the championship of a past-its-prime sport while the rest of us watch football highlights. Philadelphia--my city--hasn't won a championship of any kind for 25 years, a record for a four-sport town. Tampa Bay has a shorter history of woe, but this is a city (well, technically, a body of water) whose football team, the Buccaneers, lost the first 26 games of its existence. If history is any indicator, neither team will win: the Rays and the Phillies will be swept from the field...
...this is the World Series we deserve, if not the one we want. Both Philadelphia and Tampa have done their time enduring bad teams and worse luck. But for the rest of the country, idly wondering where the Yankees are, there's a lesson to be had.

Betty’s clever manipulation of lover and father is in almost direct opposition to the role of Shakespeare’s Juliet. The love between Cagnotto and Bobo draws out the role...
...boyfriend. The catch is, he’s been brought up to kill only those who deserve it. The problem here is that the show built up too fast, and by the end of the second season Dexter had already evaded a statewide manhunt for the “Bay Harbor Butcher” and the only person who knew the truth about him was dead. Now the show lacks the suspense that made it so gripping, instead relying on a series of subplots. These include Dexter befriending a prosecutor whose brother he accidentally murdered. The prosecutor is played...
