So it was that first thing Monday morning, Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, the chairman of the Senate subcommittee on federal financial management, signed a liability waiver and joined high-ranking postal officials on a 45-minute walking tour of the mammoth mothballed structure.

Dorrington exclaims. ?High on helium!? So was I: high on this documentary?s magical realism...
...Maybe all I need is a shot in the arm/Maybe all I need is a shot in the arm/Something in my veins/Bloodier than blood.” This blood courses through the end of “Via Chicago,” where Tweedy and Stirratt soar out of a cacophony of raw sounds with: “Rest my head on a pillowy star and a cracked-door moon that says I haven’t gone too far,” dovetailing seamlessly with the song’s guitar theme.Such resonance is appropriate enough, as Wilco thrills...
