...here is where Jackie runs into trouble. If he was to be a truly uninhibited comedian, he wouldn't even bother qualifying his statements. Like a Howard Stern or a Rush Limbaugh, he would just rant and rave, regardless of the consequences. Jackie, however, tries to find a balance that seemingly doesn't exist, between speaking freely and still trying to qualify dangerous statements (like his brazenly racist quips). For instance, he offers us the previous comment on Jewish wives and their timid husbands and elicits audience hysteria; the mood, however, turns somber when he immediately adds "But adultery...
...place many have never been, but don't have to force the imagination to believe existed 40 years ago. Inman does offer one clothing alternative: Dragonfly. With vintage clothing and costume accessories (Dresses $10 to 30, Hats $7 to 30), the staff was running wild for the Halloween rush, as at any reputable second-hand store. The hats at this clothing boutique really take top honors--and they're affordable...
...political cost, but so does walking away -- which is why Thursday's noncommittal U.N. Security Council resolution suits Washington right now. The international body demanded Iraq resume cooperation with U.N. arms inspectors, but stopped short of threatening the use of force if Baghdad refuses.

Several of the songs race along without a chorus; others are chants that repeat phrases over and over as if Morissette were trying to persuade both the listener and herself to believe in what she's singing. On the CD's first single, Thank U, Morissette pays tribute to the things that have forced her to become stronger and wiser: "Thank you India/ Thank you terror/ Thank you disillusionment...
...sublime, theatrical Western scenery like Albert Bierstadt and an Australian one like the more modest Eugene von Guerard, it isn't accidental. Both received the same training at the Dusseldorf Academy and acquired skill at the tight, glossy, detailed rendering of grandiose scenes. Von Guerard joined the gold rush to Australia in 1852 but failed as a prospector, and made a career for 30 years painting two kinds of scenery: portraits of the settled acres of the well-to-do pastoralists; and views of more exotic wildness, from the bizarrely sculpted sea cliffs of Cape Schanck to the Australian Alps...
