...kind of rationalization sounds like the remarks made by another promising candidate in 1992, an Arkansas Governor who pledged to voters that he had put his past behind him. That is the kind of comparison sure to make John McCain angry. These days, however, he can't afford to show...
McCain's unified-field theory has room for issues ranging from voter apathy (people don't bother voting because they believe money runs the show) to abortion (organizations on both sides use the bitter fight for fund raising and don't want to find areas of compromise).

For every standard-issue adolescent yearning, there is a show that explores it on the WB. For each of life's cliched ironies encountered for the first time, there is a chat room to lament it on TeenGripe.com For every pimply punk buying a pop CD, another kid with a good complexion has just released a debut album.
