Clinton dancing around edges on Iraq
MSNBC – May 23, 2007
When our “national interest” stretches across the globe we are not respecting the sovereignty of other nations while we demand respect for our own. What is our “national interest” in the Middle East? il. We have the technology to break our dependence on foriegn oil we just lack the will. I believe that Bin-Laden still must be brought to justice. If he desires to change US policy he needs to use methods other than murdering US citizens. We should reserve the right to repond with the appropriate force when attacked. ur attack on Afghanistan was justified… And viseversa the sunni’s that hated our invasion are the people we most need to end this civil war.

FXNews – May 23, 2007
“Dating is always a difficult thing” the British belle told K! “I’m so dim I don’t notice when a guy’s coming on to me. Subtlety doesn’t work with me — you have to be blunt!” Does Britney’s Nipple Have a Ring to It? Britney Spears never shies away from sporting a new look. The bald beauty apparently hit Millennium Dance Complex last week with a little excess metal poking through her top. “It was pretty obvious she was wearing a nipple ring” a witness told Australia’s Famous magazine. “She was flaunting it” said another source in the dance class. Another Hollywood hottie who has been spotted exposing her “girls” is former “. C” teen queen Mischa Barton… “He was way tipsy and was spending a lot of time with an ugly brunette that was not Jessica Simpson” a source told PerezHilton. Why did they break up? As reported in Pop Tarts Thursday Simpson was said to be furious that Mayer lingered and laughed with the pretty Roberta Armani (Giorgio’s niece) at last week’s Costume Institute Gala according to Australian magazine Famous. “Jess barked in his ear and John just sighed and put his hand up to his head” an eyewitness divulged to the mag. “Later he tried to grab her hand but it was clear she was upset with him.

Can guitars look good on Ibiza’s dancefloor?
BBC News – May 23, 2007
Dance MeccaEven among the myriad European music festivals the intimate crowd and unusual setting will make this gig a particularly special occasion. And according to promoter Andy McKay “it is also very unlikely to make any money”. Ibiza has built its reputation as a mecca of dance music – and be it rave hardcore or house its pilgrims have flocked to the island’s super-clubs. Until recently a high-profile appearance of four scruffy teenagers from South Yorkshire would have been more likely on Ibiza Uncovered – the notorious television documentary exposing of the antics of holidaying boozed-up Brits – than on stage.

Defense questions accuser’s character
Corpus Christi Caller-Times – Corpus Christi Caller Times – May 23, 2007
Defense attorneys attempted Tuesday to portray the man accusing dance instructor Ricardo Villa of forcing him into unwanted sex acts as a child as someone who drinks too much lies on his MySpace account and is a convicted thief. Villa the 66-year-old owner of Ballet Nacional Dance Center is charged with three counts of aggravated assault of a child — a former dance student — who was younger than 14 in 1994. The dance student now 24 testified Monday that Villa forced him to perform oral sex three times and then on two occasions took him to a fast-food restaurant. After the third incident he testified he refused to return to the dance class. Villa’s former dance student said he did not come forward until recently because he had had a hard time dealing with the incidents and it took the death of his mother for him to face the childhood episodes… Villa’s former dance student said he did not come forward until recently because he had had a hard time dealing with the incidents and it took the death of his mother for him to face the childhood episodes. The accuser began to cry Tuesday after prosecutor Sandra Eastwood asked him if going to trial with the accusations he was making against Villa was the worst experience of his life. “Yes” he sobbed before asking 319th District Judge Tom Greenwell if he could take a break to compose himself. Villa’s accuser had testified much of Monday and Tuesday. Prosecutors and defense attorneys sparred early Tuesday about what to allow into testimony regarding the accuser’s criminal history. He was convicted in Hays County of stealing the grille off of a Volkswagen Jetta a Class C misdemeanor according to testimony Tuesday. The defense also questioned Villa’s accuser on whether he has ever spiked his hair as well as why his MySpace account says he graduated from college and he makes $250000 annually when neither are true.
Klaxons:Carling Academy Glasgow Sunday May 6
NME.com – May 23, 2007
He sticks out a bright green tongue at his mate and grimaces with disgust. ?I can still taste that glowstick. ?Has the taste of new rave turned sour? The signs are there: the cognescenti are already pointing to Hadouken!?s grime emo (grimo?) onslaught as the new Charge f The Light (Baton) Brigade that?ll wipe out the scene in less time than it takes to wire up a guitar to a Dance Dance Revolution machine and Klaxons are keen to cast off all rave-ish accoutrements. Klaxons see are acutely aware of the dangers of Fad Fashion. They see them quite rightly as a tacky trend that?ll date their band faster than a Junior Senior remix or a guest appearance by Har Mar Superstar… The thunderous throb of ?Gravity?s Rainbow? envelops the synapses the industro-metal stomp of ?Magick? rattles the bones and ?Isle f Her? chains you to the oar of a Trojan warship and horsewhips you until you row the bugger clean off the third Peter Gabriel album (trust us it?s identical) and straight into the yawning jaws of hell. It?s a dizzying dazzling devastating display. Then a break for a pizza ? and a quick blast of Shy Child doing their drums-and-keytar version of an electro White Stripes while fellating the microphones ? and come their evening set you start to unpick what makes Klaxons so unique. ?They?re not even slightly rave!? mither the purists. Well actually yes they are. It?s not just in the sirens?n?soul of the first five seconds of ?Atlantis?? or the punk?d covers of ?The Bouncer? or Grace?s ?Not ver Yet? that bookend both sets it?s in the housey piano plinks of ?Golden Skans? the filthy squelch drums of opener ?Two Receivers? and the blissed-out ?o-ee-ooo?s of a pincer-tight ?Magick?; it?s in their marrow. Plus any band writing about going to infinity sequin-covered swans rainbows and meeting Julius Caesar Diana Princess f Wales and Mother Teresa on a Club 18-30 holiday has clearly feasted heartily from the disco biscuit barrel.
