...will, sadly, only prolong their quest. It would be pointless to dismantle the music of Nick Rhodes and John Taylor as frivolous, synth-heavy fluff, because depth and musicianship were never what Duran Duran were about. Instead, their songs were meant as escapism. Just look at the imagery they chose to use in their videos: The tropical vistas, the expensive yachts, the high-class prostitutes, and the day-glo neckties all fueled the Anglo-American consumer-obsession of the Reagan/Thatcher Era. While it may seem, upon further consideration, that our current society is ripe for the triumphant return of Duran...
...Pakistan Institute of Public Opinion, the local affiliate of Gallup International, recently posited a mock presidential poll between Musharraf and Chaudhry. Among those who voted, 70% chose the chief justice over the President. "It is not a choice between two persons," said Gallup Pakistan's Ijaz Shafi Gilani.

The group that organized the protest, which does not have an official name, chose to march on Friday in conjunction with Iraq Moratorium, a national campaign in which protestors are called to devote the third Friday of every month to ending...
...matriculating at Yale. Of course, since only people prone to make bad decisions would ever go to Yale, this cycle of mistake-making is self-perpetuating. Every year we make fun of these and any of the other countless mistakes made in New Haven. But so what if you chose to go to Yale? Everyone makes mistakes! Today we offer to forget the mistakes of the past, if Yalies would simply drop the act. We all need to admit that Yale was a mistake from the beginning. It is time to pretend that it never happened. Students should stop going...
