...that's not really its main point. What Bennett most wants to show us is that Hector's homosexuality is preferable to the more closeted variety practiced by the extremely smooth Irwin. Bennett is also arguing, in his quiet and very civilized way, that especially in the context of an English public school almost a quarter of a century ago, homosexuality was not a very big deal. Bennett, who is an openly gay writer, accepts it as a part of life - particularly as a part of life in English public schools - something the boys come to terms with in essentially...
...smooth relations with the Bush White House aren't the priority they used to be. In the upcoming Congress, with every Republican Senator seemingly running for re-election or for President, proof of one's independence from the White House will be an asset, not a liability, especially if Bush's approval ratings remain mired in the mid-30s.

My only critique is that the crust was a bit tough, a flaw that I was willing to overlook by virtue of its golden butteriness. My friend...
...isn’t a great party guy or anything. The album’s opening track, “Shakedown,” has a simple, stomping, horn-based beat (think Scott Storch in the third grade) that leaves plenty of space for Akon’s ultra-smooth tenor to fill. He does an exciting job until the gunshot repeating in the background starts shoving its way forward, breaking up the fun. “Blown Away” continues to favor toughness over fun. “If you ain’t man enough to make...
