...aura of angst. Never fear, for Jimmy’s life rebounds by the bridge of the song; at least the director has a vague acquaintance with the track, more than can be said for most “story” videos. In an unprecedented display of teenage rebellion, Jimmy runs away from home, but not before scrawling “St. Jimmy” in lipstick on a bathroom wall, cutting his palm with a dirty razor blade, and leaving a bloody handprint underneath. While it may lay claim to higher legitimacy, all “Jesus...
...Snowe broke her toe at home earlier this month. But that didn't stop the wiry Maine moderate from kicking President Bush while he was down last week. Twice, in fact. The Bush team was reeling from Democratic gubernatorial wins in New Jersey and Virginia and a broader G.O.P. rebellion in the House over the President's spending bill.

French leaders tried to strike a balance between condemning the violence and seeking to understand it, but they seemed powerless to impose order on the streets. Above all, the rage expressed...

I’m quite sure, however, that it’s not the hint of rebellion but the hope of rehabilitation that keeps us coming back for more. See, in truth, I don’t really want to mess around with these boys, I want to mother them. I don’t want to stay up late with them, I want to finish their problem sets...
