...lust too. Her lyrics aspire to poetry and sometimes get there--"It turns me on to imagine/Your blue eyes on my words" she says on The Letter--but it's her voice that does the heavy lifting. On Cat on the Wall and The Life and Death of Mr. Badmouth, she howls simple phrases until they sound a little like sex and a little like pain. On The Slow Drug, her hush leads into the dead of night as she contemplates a sleeping lover and wonders, "Could you be my calling?" No singer since Janis Joplin has moved as easily...
...last week, when he released his first album in seven years, the (moderately) optimistic You Are the Quarry. But Morrissey knows that it will probably be the same group of hard-core wallowers crowding the register at record stores. That doesn't bother him much, in part because being Mr. Misery is a pretty good gig. (Quarry will probably enter in the Top 10, and his most recent solo tour sold out in--no joke--5 min.) He also knows he has done plenty to earn the title. As lead singer of the legendary '80s band the Smiths, Morrissey...
...brothel. Despite his peccadilloes - like the occasional grope when he takes them for a ride on his motorbike - the boys cherish Hector.

"Mr. Hector's stuff's not meant for the exam, sir," one of the boys tells Irwin. "It's to make us more rounded human beings." Put that way, it sounds wet.

More importantly, Mr. Jones will win Visa’s Triple Crown Challenge, a $5 million bonus. Smarty’s going to be getting some phone calls from lady friends who may have blown him off a year or two ago. Oh, hi Smarty! Yeah, I just thought I’d call, you know, to say hi. I heard you won the Triple Crown, that’s great! Listen, I just got my tail done...
America could also demonstrate support for Mr. Singh’s commitment to sound development policies, by increasing our paltry development aid to India. We spend a pittance on development in general (less than 16 billion dollars last year, or about 0.014 percent of our Gross National Product). But we spend a pitiful portion of that pittance on South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa: just $3 billion. A real commitment to India’s development would not only reward their market-based approach to fighting poverty, but also help solidify the bond between our two nations...
