...have just now completed the month of August, which is the cruelest month for Democrats, the month when Republicans go for the jugular, trotting out arguments - some valid, most scurrilous - that paint their Democratic rivals as weak, élite or unpatriotic. This is a relatively new phenomenon in American politics, the Bush family's gift to the process. Ronald Reagan never staged an ugly August.

The last third of the album–where Diddy’s production crew, the Hitmen, are conspicuously absent–is markedly better than the rest. “Pray,” the first song and second track of the record, goes right for the jugular. Heavy rhythmic bass, a pulsing melody, shouts, and a distorted guitar accompany Jay’s straightforward, unremitting delivery. The sparking of what is presumably a J at the end of the track blazes the way for the mellifluous and soulful track to follow, “American Dreamin?...
