Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic is the love-child of the Artist Formerly known as Prince and his new record label, Arista. This album attempts to answer the call Prince set forth a decade ago, to "party like it's 1999." But the impression that the album leaves behind is not of the Artist's music but rather of the pageantry behind it all. The body-hugging velvet costumes. The name that isn't a name.

For Buchanan, these Americans "have been left behind and left out." They see future hopes not in stock options but in slot machines...
These are bold ideas, but remarkably useless ones. The call to end immigration appeals more to prejudice and fear than economics. It obscures the fact that many immigrants share the same economic troubles and concerns that affect working Americans. Although we should question the motivation behind these trade agreements, Buchanan's call for high tariffs and import substitution is foolish. The deceptively simple idea that by importing less, we will manufacture more has left a trail of ruined economies around the world...
