...vague and unconvincing warning about "isolationism" and "protectionism," by which he means the growing public impatience with foreign military adventures, foreign economic competition and illegal foreign immigrants. Bush sees this, rightly, as a national turn toward pessimism. "We shouldn't fear the future," he said at a Republican fund raiser last week, "because we intend to shape the future...
...that wasn't Google's first p.r. hit. A reporter for tech-news website CNET last year set out to discover how much personal data she could find about CEO Schmidt by googling him. She uncovered his net worth, street address, whom he had invited to a political fund raiser--and put it all online. Google went ballistic, declaring it would boycott CNET for a year.

Reports recently filed with the Federal Election Commission show that McCain's Straight Talk America political-action committee raised more money in the second half of last year than that of any other potential G.O.P. presidential candidate.

But if you think you're invulnerable to an atmospheric ballad with Maroon 5's chirpy Adam Levine (Heard 'Em Say) or a song called Roses about a sick grandma, you will be shocked at the stealthy power of West's storytelling. As for the music, one listen to Gone, built...
