...prefer the word "comix" for reasons both practical and theoretical. Take this sentence: "I like comics." Even in the context of an article on comic books I can't abide the semantic confusion with comedians. More importantly, I would argue that significant differences still exist between the vast majority of titles in this art form and the few that I strive to cover in this column. But the difference no longer has to do with what the works depict. Violence and sexuality appear routinely in many books that I would not describe as "comix." The definition of the word...

...Republicans would prefer not to. Bush and Lott have been hoping to use economic urgency to get retroactive tax cuts, Bush's $1.6 trillion in long-term tax cuts, and the overall budget resolution passed by Friday, and with Lott and Mitch McConnell at the controls it still may happen.

...futurism. And with a host of other free-music sites out there - BearShare, Gnutella, Aimster, yada, yada, yada, - snapping up downloaders as we speak, Rosen's optimism for a more moral world of online music (or merely a more lucrative one for the record companies, whichever you prefer) may be a bit premature. But she's right about one thing - the Senate wasn't doing much more than holding a star-studded wake...

...does, Bush is unlikely to pose a problem. For now Bush doesn't feel he has any goodwill to waste by vetoing a bill that most Americans would prefer to see become law, and the last thing he needs is another p.r. rematch with the party-bridging McCain...
