...does an unnamed girl, a squatter, a Mexican, and of course, Oberst himself, at the center of it all. Things take a pretty exciting and promising turn with “Hot Knives,” which is reminiscent (before the orchestration and hyper-production kick in) of Jeff Buckley. The track also contains one of the album’s most memorable and charming lines: “Oh, I’ve made love, yeah, I’ve been fucked, so what? / I’m a cartoon, you’re a full moon, let?...
...SATIRIST CHRISTOPHER Buckley hasn't been overly ambitious in choosing his targets. (Unscrupulous tobacco lobbyists? Oh no he didn't!) But his new book, Boomsday, has some teeth--or at least some menacing dentures. Cassandra Devine is a 29-year-old blogger who has had it with the government bankrupting her generation to support legions of increasingly long-lived baby boomers.

In the wake of the MAC’s closing, students like Buckley are placing an added strain on House gyms, prompting some Houses to prepare special accommodations. “We had a number of requests...
Conservative intellectuals have done much in the postwar years to resuscitate the movement’s image in America. Russell Kirk, William F. Buckley, and Phyllis Schlafly never shied away from controversy, yet provided the considerate and intelligent commentary necessary for the important issues of the day. The Republican Party should feel deeply indebted to these personalities and others who helped supply a platform that spoke persuasively to enough voters to purchase five of the last seven presidential terms, and six of the last seven Congresses...
