...album is sure to be a hit with the apparent target audience of young teenage boys, especially with lyrics like those of “The Mule Session,” sung in a country-blues style over inarticulate strums of acoustic guitar: “My sister’s on the dope and my brother always picks his nose.” This album, as is the case with many of Sandler’s previous albums, is a resurrection of all of those jokes you remember hearing long ago in grammar school being spit out by purple...
...policy wonks will be able to get their picture taken with the leader of this urbane revolution, a capitalist Che Guevara literally rolling out the red carpet for his U.S. invasion. This glitzy cafe opening seems an odd counterpoint to the poncho-clad Juan Valdez and his trusty mule Conchita, but the advertising icon needs all the fanfare he can muster for his daunting new mission: to make Colombian coffee hip enough for the Starbucks generation to start caring about his hills of beans...
...alerted U.S. authorities, who boarded the bus on the morning of Feb. 20 and allegedly found 8 lbs. of marijuana, valued at $25,000, hidden inside a teenage girl's backpack.

But, of course, the money is great--thousands of dollars for a week's unpleasantness, enough to lift Maria's fractious family out of poverty and pay for the birth of the baby...
...credit, Wyoming, the least populous state in the U.S., does not feel like an ideal place for a terrorist attack. The 493,800 people who live here have a well-deserved affection for the state's yawning prairie land, framed by mountains and speckled with elk, antelope and mule deer. Wyoming's biggest city is Cheyenne, the capital, which is still not serviced by jet liners. "It's very hard to hide in Wyoming," says Joe Moore, head of Wyoming's office of homeland security, on my first morning in town. "By the end of the day, everyone will know...
