...same actress: "You don't have any emotional props. You can't do this thing of 'Oooh, I'm going to sit on this chair because I feel sad now.'" Did you have to inflict this gobbledygook on us? Couldn't you have paraphrased it and spared us the pain of reading it? Lyle McClure, ISTANBUL...

...some of its officers with Tasers is a waste of taxpayer funds, and, more importantly, a threat to public safety.

Suffice it to say that eye candy is in plentiful supply. Yet the visuals tire quickly, with amusing cameos from T.I. and T-Pain providing the only counterpoints to an endless succession of quick cuts featuring R. Kelly, people’s (now ex-) girlfriends, and still more R. Kelly. What redeems and almost legitimizes this video is the song itself. It’s tacky, tongue-in-cheek, and irresistibly catchy. Clocking in at five...

...address it personally? You know, I believe you to be a professing Christian, and you and I have prayed together, but when I heard you talk about this dark side of your life and when we were in Washington, you spoke of it with a great deal of pain and anguish, but you didn't mention repentance. Do you understand that word, repentance...
