...least rueful self-parody, except that it quickly veers into fiction. Bret (this is the fictional Bret) has managed to sire a son with an actress named Jayne Dennis, and when he flunks out of his umpteenth rehab he decides to save himself by marrying her, moving to Connecticut and becoming a regular suburban dad. But Bret brings his demons with him, both figuratively--he can't kick the sauce and he's haunted by his late alcoholic, rageoholic father--and literally: the Connecticut McMansion is assailed by supernatural bogeys, including a real-world incarnation of Patrick Bateman, the titular...
...repentant, demon-chased Oedipal wretch Bret--the real Ellis? There's certainly a strong family resemblance. Ellis had a difficult, angry, alcoholic father. He dates both men and women. He has lost some of his lust for fame (although the real Ellis still lives in Manhattan, not Connecticut). "There's a heavy dose of self-loathing about celebrity," he sighs.

He got some cheap software that allowed him to randomize song order, causing "train wrecks"--ballads followed by headbangers. He put it up as jack.fm and slid in some promos revolving around a fictitious cowboy named Jack who made...
...Democrats aren't new to these issues. Clinton and Connecticut Senator Lieberman, who lambasted Mortal Kombat, highlighted violent games more than a decade ago. But members feel the party has ignored these issues in recent years, allowing Republicans to seize the high ground on moral values. "I think they forget about it," says Barbara Whitehead, who heads the National Marriage Project at Rutgers University and has advised Democrats on some of these issues. Expect to hear more of these ideas from Democrats, particularly those affiliated with the centrist Democratic Leadership Council, of which Clinton, Emanuel and Lincoln are all members...
