...project to reconcile pop, hip-hop, and electronica, opening with a solid drum-line beat and taking the listener home with heavy synth lines. “Bounce” is by far the most intense song on the album. Its continuous synth bassline, combined with the sick flows of Missy and Dre, as well as JT’s conspicuously sexed-up chorus, make for a fairly good time. The latter half of the album pairs Timbaland with some rock heavyweights. Although it seems like he’s experimenting for pure fun, the results are often novel...
...calculus involved in taking a friend who has overindulged to UHS will become more complicated. Student group officers might be less inclined to take sick students to the hospital, fearing retribution from the College the next day. Instead of aiding a sick student, some hosts might push him out the door, telling him to go home and sleep it off instead. Even for the student, himself, there will be some disincentive for seeking treatment, for fear his friend or student group officers, as hosts, will get in trouble. Making matters worse, many of these decisions are made by students under...

Imus could have made a remark just as bad years ago and suffered few if any consequences. Scratch that: Imus did make remarks as bad or worse for years.

It lets the cleaning lady cover the White House." He called a Washington Post writer a "boner-nosed, beanie-wearing Jewboy...
...Imus argued repeatedly that his critics should consider the "context" of his larger life, including the formidable work for sick children he does through his Imus Ranch charity. But it's not Imus Ranch he broadcasts from 20 hours a week. You can't totally separate the lives of celebrities from their work - it didn't excuse Gibson that he attacked the Jews in his free time - but finally what determines who can make what jokes is the context of their work: the tone of their acts, the personas they present, the vehicles they create for their work...
