...snapshots. Yet these stills only remind the audience that The Bravery will probably never reach the epic proportions that made Elvis a legitimate subject for pop art. Interestingly, the video marks lead singer Endicott’s directorial debut. It’s all coming together now. After some lame head-bobbing, Endicott crowd-surfs, or rather his superimposed, orange-tinted head digitally slides across the “crowd.” This automatically deducts any brownie points that might have been awarded to The Bravery for actually playing in their video.

...invitations and keep its fingers crossed. There's no excuse, though, for the limp material that host Jonathan Ross, the BBC's high-priced answer to Jay Leno, was tossing out all night.

It was the very opposite of "Yes, We Can" politics...
...Even so, two recent polls indicate that McCain is opening a substantial lead over Mitt Romney, whose main backer in the state is the unpopular lame-duck Gov. Matt Blunt. "We're down to a McCain-Romney fight," said Selck. "And it's my opinion John McCain is going to do well. Mitt Romney is the big-shot Easterner to all us poor folks. John McCain is a hero...
