...former leaders of the murderous Khmer Rouge regime; in Phnom Penh. After almost six years of negotiations and delay, the 107 members present in Cambodia's 123-seat assembly voted unanimously to approve the proceedings, the focus of which will probably be on seven alleged former leaders from the brutal reign of Pol Pot.

Laughs were notably absent from Beck's last album, Sea Change, which was full of the kind of beautiful breakup melodies and brutal words normally associated with Gordon Lightfoot and Sylvia Plath.

...demolish Kerry, but all they are doing is attacking his policies, which are fair game during an election. Bush's rise in the polls following the convention showed that the criticisms of Kerry's policies hit their mark. Kerry, by contrast, responded to his falling poll numbers with brutal personal attacks on the President and Vice President, noting their lack of service in Vietnam. It is Kerry who is trying to demolish Bush over personal matters, not vice versa. But the personal attacks are counterproductive. Americans don't care much about military service, or the lack thereof, in choosing leaders...
