...issues in moral terms. Some of the problem is rhetorical: Scrub language of all religious content and we forfeit the imagery and terminology through which millions of Americans understand both their personal morality and social justice.

...strange as it sounds (and is), Cee-lo as the Lord of the Fleas is irking yet irresistible. The tune of “Gone Daddy Gone” is just as persistent as the panty-obsessed pests. The video never strays from the bizarreness we’ve come to demand of notoriously unpredictable Gnarls Barkley. And, after all, we’ve all felt like bugs at some point—crushed mercilessly into the carpet of love...
