...defending its publication of the now infamous “Danish cartoons,” the prevailing arguments of The Salient are a defense of free speech and the need to reveal the absurdity, and even hypocrisy, of our “cultural sensitivities” (“Salient Publishes Danish Cartoons,” news, Feb. 14). Under different circumstances, these implied goals would not only be acceptable, but even admirable. However, in defending these cartoons and publishing them, The Salient has made a grossly naive mistake. As The Salient well knows, we are at war, and thus...
...recounting his adventures on the Internet. “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell,” Max’s new book, is a collection of Max’s most infamous Decameron-like stories alongside some newer material. A perusal of the new book reveals that this same man once left a 20-foot trail of diarrhea in the lobby of a Texas Embassy Suites, got kicked out of a hockey game for wrestling the mascot on the ice, and had sex with a girl with a colostomy bag.

...previous albums, Runga showed herself to be a musical minx, dressing up in various guises to reveal snippets of herself (on Beautiful Collision, echoes of Johnny Cash and The Mamas and the Papas are seemingly remixed by Bj?rk).

But it turned out they were leaving in the eighth inning. Massive ruby drapes had appeared beneath the cauldron and they parted to reveal a giant chandelier and Luciano Pavarotti in a setting suggesting an outdoor opera house. H?e performed "Nessun Dorma," the Puccini aria he made immortal. In English, it would be, "With the dawn I will win! I'll win! I'll win!" Or even, "I will conquer." The brief fireworks that...
...with two burqa-clad groups. But despite the apparent differences between the two and Marshall—dressed in a skintight red outfit—they are all the same underneath. Korine then includes a long close-up of one woman’s sleeves billowing wide enough to reveal the same red beneath her clothing. The women aren’t naked, but the symbolism is embarrassingly so.Still, the women manage to leap over male-imposed hurdles—symbolized here by actual hurdles. In the end, Marshall and two other women stand on a podium with fists...
