...Minister in the early 1990s and now an occasional critic of Putin's, came to the President's assistance last week when describing how he had fallen violently ill from an apparent poisoning in Dublin on the day Litvinenko died. Writing in the Financial Times, Gaidar concluded "that some obvious or hidden adversaries of the Russian authorities stand behind the scenes of this event, those who are interested in further radical deterioration of relations between Russia and the West."

With no flashing lights and erotic whispering to distract us, we are forced to face the obvious truth that Christina & Co. are musically uninteresting and lyrically vapid. While you should feel free to enjoy “Hurt” for the circus, don’t expect to like the whole package unless you are a) deaf, b) a twelve-year-old boy, or c) both...
