...there’s tiny insects showing through / And all them tiny insects look like you.” Along the same musical and topical lines, “Insanely Jealous” starts with an urgent but subdued bass throb, agitated hi-hat and the slender and raw tremolo of a violin. It gradually works into a deliberately guided frenzy of dipping and weaving bass and guitar squall—and, of course, the spit and muttered skewering of love: “But all I hear when they embrace is just the kiss of skulls...

...along, you had to figure George W. Bush wasn't going to lure his Democratic Cabinet member from the working Senate or House, not with the margins of power as slender as they are in 2001. And Democrats from the Ford, Reagan or Bush administrations were few and far between. So Bush tapped the current commerce secretary, Norman Mineta, for transportation secretary - getting diversity, experience and Democratism in one fell swoop - and ensured that Hillary won't be the only Clinton holdover working in Washington this year...
