...Washington to meet with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. Eto persuaded the U.S. to continue the search for the missing crew members, an important gesture for Japan. The Americans assume that all nine are dead, probably trapped inside the sunken ship. But in Uwajima they are still emphatically spoken of as "missing," not "deceased...
...with Elton John, a grave man dressed like an adult - the Grammys' ambassador to Bennett-Leiberman Nation - delivered a dishonest sermonette filled with those "sure-it's-ugly-but-we-ignore-the-cry-of-the-ghetto (er, make that, of suburban white sociopaths)-at-our-peril" notes that are spoken to endow venality with social significance...

Just as the Constitution protects pure thoughts and words, it likewise protects "depraved" desires, as long as those desires are spoken but not acted upon. For example in a recent case the Supreme Court unanimously upheld the right of Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt to publish a parody claiming that the Rev.
