...Jeffords may portray himself as the most conservative member of the Vermont congressional delegation, but he's one of the most moderate and independent- minded Republicans in the Senate. And he's giving Bush fits. The White House was furious with Jeffords' refusal to support Bush's $1.6 trillion tax cut, which forced Lott to compromise on a lower number.

Josie and the Pussycats combines the fast, furious feel of a garage-band single with the frenetic kinesis of a music video. The film updates the comic of the same name, tracking grrl-band Josie and the Pussycats as they get caught up in success.
