...album to promote, he still has the magnetism lacking in many bands today. Always the showman, he appeared onstage looking like a fetish version of Elvis in a black PVC outfit and launched into "A Swallow On My Neck." The lesser-known song started the show on a weaker note, but Morrissey's jovial mood and his backing band's incredibly tight, focused musicality only created momentum...
...poetry section of Teen magazine ("Pretty pretty boy I love you"). Out of the 13 songs in the album, approximately 13 sound like the same song, give or take a few notes and tempo markings. Though nowhere as skanky as their teen contemporaries, M2M's voices are far weaker or perhaps just mellow and undeveloped in that Hanson way.

Even McCain is polishing his conservative credentials, emphasizing yesterday that he is a "proud pro-life conservative Republican." It would be very unfortunate if the coming closed primaries allow party regulars to choose among weaker candidates who are willing to pander to the right...

And when the G.O.P. tried to rally the public against a President they believed epitomized all that was wrong in the culture, the public refused to get on board. Americans, it turned out, were becoming less morally judgmental, and government could do little about it. Conservatives might influence Washington, but Washington...
...nightmare of impeachment. Outside the bubbles of Washington and Austin, the true threat that McCain posed to Bush was abundantly clear. One runs on candor and fumes; the other hides in the motorcade. One takes a punch and looks stronger; the other throws a punch and looks weaker. One seems to delight in crashing the party; the other drapes the Republican establishment around his neck like a mink...
