...comic jam session. Take white rap-rock. "It's kind of sad that when you watch MTV, you don't see a lot of cool white guys anymore that are cool without acting black," he says. "Like when I was a kid, Axl Rose was cool. David Lee Roth was cool. And they were cool and white. And acting white. Comfortable in their whiteness. Now everybody tries to act black.

Hot tears are an apt response: the two most innocent characters die; the others grieve and carry on womanfully.

Under the Senate bill sponsored by William Roth (who brought us the laudable Roth IRA), the middle 60 percent of American families, who pay a third of all taxes, would have gotten 33 percent of the tax breaks. Now they?re getting 21 percent. Roth had the top 20 percent of incomes, who pay two-thirds...
