"The Fear," already a hit in Britain, is a hummable single about vapid consumerism ("I want to be rich and I want lots of money/ I don't care about clever I don't care about funny") that honors both "Lost in the Supermarket" and "Material Girl." "Not Fair" laments that her otherwise excellent boyfriend is lousy in bed ("I look into your eyes, I want...
Even oil- and gas-rich states are panicking. In Alaska, for instance, sinking oil prices have some state legislators scrambling to lock in education budgets for the next few years as the state prepares to dip into its savings to cover a shortfall of approximately $1.65 billion this year and up to $3 billion next year.

...part, the FDLR has been present in eastern Congo for more than 14 years. Its members have committed many massacres of Tutsi civilians and have exploited the rich mineral resources of the region. The FDLR subjugates people either by rape (often performed in groups - and on people of either gender) or with the AK-47, a weapon so ubiquitous that it has picked up a tragic moniker: the Congolese credit card. Mary, the scarred woman in the center of the photo collage on the next two pages, told me that FDLR men raped her, set her house on fire...
