...bill. "The Bush Administration bends over backwards for industry while turning its back on needed homeland-security safeguards," Markey complains. "It's commerce over common sense." But Russ Knocke, a DHS spokesman, argues that such public-private partnerships maximize security without "shutting down the systems and industries we depend upon...

...surely no less satisfying. Yet they managed to confine their celebrations to removing their cap and acknowledging, with a raising of their bat, the applause of the crowd. Today's leaping, fist-pumping performances - unleashed no matter what the state of play - are merely self-indulgent. When they follow upon the defeat of an opponent, they smack of triumphalism.

...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.
