...know, Karen, I give full credit to the Karl Rove acolytes who are working for John McCain, and one of their general strategies is to try to turn strengths into weaknesses. The enthusiasm and involvement at the grass roots that we've seen in my campaign, I consider a strength. That's one of the reasons we are able to compete in 18 [battleground] states. But those crowds and those rallies, those people have not come out because of my speechmaking...

Next year, the Vatican has slated special conferences to confront the ideas of Galileo and Darwin...

The CD takes musical potshots at Administration figures ranging from Condi Rice to Karl Rove, but what has got at least some people upset is its cover: the President with a bone through his nose, an image that prompted radio and billboard powerhouse Clear Channel to ban billboard ads for the album. Shearer talked with TIME's Richard Zoglin about the controversy, the state of political satire and the chances...
