...being somehow responsible for the deaths. He becomes even more suspicious when Dr. Tyler's young daughter goes missing. Murdered and stashed away? Kidnapped? Or alien abducted? Whatever the answer, the folks in this movie have some loose intellectual hinges. Suddenly Ted Stevens doesn't seem like Alaska's loopiest citizen...
...Many comics artists, including Kurtzman and much of the Mad gang, had been schooled in fine art before turning to the strips. Some, like Will Elder, Kurtzman's loopiest cartoonist, and Al Feldstein, the mastermind of EC's horror and science fiction comics before becoming editor of Mad in 1956, have turned to more respectable forms of watercolors - what could easily be recognized as art, if not great art - in their twilight years. But in their prime, when Elder and Feldstein (and Herriman and Segar and King) were doing their most vigorous work, sending out comic distress signals under...
...place as the godfathers of punk appeared cemented for all time. One problem: the Ramones weren't really punk. Joey, Johnny, Tommy and Dee Dee (who died of a drug overdose in June) dressed in black leather and scowled like Bowery thugs, but they actually played some of the loopiest pop music ever made.

The song Jo Jo's Jacket is a vague tribute to Yul Brynner, and The Hook may be the first indie-rock pirate chantey. That aside, Malkmus has grown...
Perhaps the loopiest strand in the supposed conspiracy winds through the Paula Jones sexual-harassment case. Jones first made her charges at conservative PAC press conference, and they were soon promoted heavily on religious TV shows like Pat Robertson's 700 Club and Jerry Falwell's Old Time Gospel Hour. Falwell, of course, is the main promoter of the Clinton Chronicles, a crackpot video documentary that charges the First Couple with drug smuggling and links to a gangland slaying. The Rutherford Institute, which pays Jones' legal bills, once defended the right of football players at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University...
