...while, the fidel-capped bloggers weren’t sure about The Killers. But then Brandon Flowers, the band’s lead singer, announced that their 2006 LP would be among the best albums of the past twenty years. And then “Sam’s Town” finally dropped, and it turned out that by “best” Flowers meant “derivative” and “pompous.” Cue the indie backlash...

That has made Caracas a hot destination for leftist tourists, bolstered Chvez's celebrity cachet--he counts Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte as friends--and made him the most visible Latin leader since Fidel Castro. But his rhetorical excesses, like his antics at the U.N., allow his critics to dismiss him as a buffoonish pretender. It was a sign of how badly his act played in New York City last week that even Democratic Representative Charles Rangel, a harsh critic of Bush's, went...
