...glory years (1946-57), Jones directed about 100 cartoons, seven-minute mini-masterpieces of character shading and comic subtlety. Along with scriptwriter Michael Maltese, he created the bon-vivant skunk Pepe Le Pew, the beep-beep Road Runner and his perennially flummoxed pursuer Wile E. Coyote. They devised brilliant one-offs such as One Froggy Evening, a lovely parable of exploitation (whose singing star, Michigan J. Frog, later became the character logo for the WB network), and the sublime Feed the Kitty, about a bulldog's desperate attempts to protect a kitten prone to domestic disaster. Put that on your...
...cringe with its inane, orgiastic storylines which are no better than something you would see on late-night Showtime. And even though I adore "Jackass," it certainly is not "responsible"-the opening disclaimer is written parodically and the stunts can easily be imitated (set yourself on fire, straddle a skunk, dive into a pile of elephant poop, chase naked midgets around South Central, etc.). Second, the Madonna video-directed by her husband Guy Ritchie-is not only relatively tame, but also profoundly significant. Beautifully photographed and set to an edgy dance-remix of the song, it depicts a battered wife...
...does he? Ashcroft is also a man who said there are two things you find in the middle of the road: "a moderate and a dead skunk. And I don't want to be either one of those."

But Ashcroft is also more complicated than the cartoons suggest. If he is so polarizing, how was he elected five times in a swing state? Is he the libertarian who fought alongside liberals...
...large pile of suck-up gifts awaits George W. Bush when he steps into his new house--crates of home-state fruit from Senators, thoughtful though inscrutable baubles from foreign leaders. But at least one skunk will be hiding in the gift bin, a present from Bush's former G.O.P. presidential rival. Arizona Senator John McCain wants to force the new President to sign a campaign-finance-reform bill that Bush hates--and make him do it before he deals with any other legislation, including education, taxes and all the other items on Bush's wish list. McCain plans...
