...three days after the terrorist attack on Iraq's Golden Mosque, Bush gave another of his "freedom's on the march in the Middle East" speeches to a subdued American Legion audience in Washington. A paragraph condemning the mosque attack was added, but the President's address was both stale and fantastic. The news from the Middle East-Iran, Iraq, Palestine-has been nonstop awful, and Bush is beginning to sound as airy and out of touch as Woodrow Wilson must have in 1919, when that President tried to sell the futile dream of a League of Nations...
...seems rather appropriate after a first listen. Despite the shock value and guiltily pleasurable humor of Fatel’s comic stylings, they do not make for a complete or satisfying act. At first blush, “Super Retardo” is hilarious, but his lecherousness grows stale rapidly. Upon further listening, Fatel begins to sound like a confessional sex offender moonlighting as an amateur comedian. Unless he grows as a performer—and unless his subject material grows with him—Fatel’s performance will always remain crude and one-dimensional. Ultimately, however, these...
...lyrics grow stale by the record’s end. Despite the fact that Arctic Monkeys won’t be able to buy alcohol while touring the states, they’ve written an inordinate number of songs about drinking and partying. Turner’s brand of hedonistic disillusionment isn’t terribly fresh, and when he sings about fake tans one can’t help but think that Mike Skinner of the Streets did a much better job of covering the same material...
...with many other instances of men sharing their feelings, Love is better in theory than in practice. Cavanagh (Ed) has casual, self-deprecating charm to spare, but his support system of guy pals (including Beverly Hills, 90210's Jason Priestley) is a stale trio of upscale beer-ad types. And the show's music-biz milieu is phony and dated: Tom, a supposedly individualistic tastemaker, is about as edgy as a pair of pleated khakis. (He loves Bob Dylan and hates Hanson! Risky!) CBS may want to avoid alienating us unhip married guys with aging CD collections, but it sacrifices...
...sweatshirt and trekking across the frostbitten Yard, I strolled into the Science Center about 12 minutes late. I faced the world—and my early morning Life Sciences 1a lecture—only reluctantly on that cold December morning. As I set foot in the lecture hall, stale coffee in hand, I saw Herschel Smith Professor of Molecular Genetics Andrew W. Murray taking a stand against the chronic tardiness of students like me. I was surprised; while an unsettlingly high proportion of students arrive late (if at all) to their early morning classes, most professors grin and bear...
