...music isn't always depressive. As the album progresses away from self-reflective artist anxiety, the music becomes a gigantic toybasket of styles. "Monkey-doll" is a Beatles-esque, upbeat true story of Fuck's tours with a stuffed monkey (rumour has it that Fuck never performs without a pile of stuffed animals covering the stage). "Italy" is a beautiful love ballad evoking images of the Coliseum and sky as Prodhumme--with a surprisingly sexy voice that moves effortlessly between innocence, vulnerability and purposeful passion--pushes the music to one of the few full climaxes of the album.

Like most people, i'm sorry that a man as decent as house Judiciary chairman Henry Hyde came to be outed for infidelity. I got the same letter about Hyde's affair from Florida retiree Norman Sommer that 57 other reporters received. I tossed it into the large pile of mail I will never answer, not because it was written in crayon (actually, it was neatly typed, lucid and provided names) but because one person's bad behavior doesn't mitigate another's.

As to securing a seat...
...depressed to get out of bed. Darkly, I reach down to the pile of debris on the floor and root through empty ice-cream containers, half-empty cigarette cartons and thick Windows 98 self-help books to find what I'm looking for: that new Carnegie Mellon University study suggesting that using the Internet can cause isolation, loneliness and depression. Whatever, I sigh, and roll over for another nap. But later, when I wake up and go online, I can't seem to shake the thing. The researchers purport to have measured, over the course of two years, the deleterious...
