...that got her last week to jump-start her department's investigation of campaign fund raising: sheer fury at being scooped. Earlier this month she read in the Washington Post that $120,000 in "soft money" solicited by Al Gore for general party activities last year had somehow found its way into "hard money" accounts that financed individual campaigns. Reno was outraged that reporters had uncovered this potential crime by using public records, papers her own Justice Department investigators possessed but somehow had not finished combing through.

Exercise at my leisure, take a shower, read the newspaper over a steaming plate of eggs? Perhaps visit a friend who I had been meaning to see, but somehow returning as quickly as politeness would allow to my temporary Isle of Solitude...
...rest should be history on some cutting room floor. Sadly, the likes of "Sloaches Fun House" and "Barflies" made it somehow, stunning in just how uninteresting and blandly, almost methodically offensive they are. "Devil Went Down to Georgia" features bad music; "Illusion of Life" never delivers; "Little Rude Riding Hood" could plausibly belong in the so-bad-it's-good...
