Rock and Republic: Over the Top and Overwrought
17737
Fashion Wire Daily - When Rock and Republic, a Los Angeles-based label known primarily for their denim, stages a runway show on a Saturday night in New York, you can be fairly certain that the clothes will be somewhat beside the point.

I'm a contrarian. It's natural. It's what happens when you're born black and male in New Orleans. You grow up questioning authority and challenging conventional wisdom. It's both a mode of survival and a disease. I have it bad. I'm addicted to argument.

Cheney disagrees with Bush. Log Cabin fights for âUnity Platformâ. These are pebbles in the ocean. The Republicans swarming into Manhattan this week are bringing a cynical message.

By Ian Hill, The Record, Stockton, Calif.  Dec. 12--Rock 'n' roll can be a call to action, a voice for hope or an expression of frustration.   For bands such as Radio Friendly, rock also can be a ministry of faith.

It seems even a crusty old newshound like me can get burned. My item last week about a couple naming their baby âYahooâ turns out to be a hoax cooked up by a (now-unemployed) Romanian tabloid reporter. Reporters making things up just for a laugh? I am shocked, simply shocked.Â

RedState is apparently failing because all Scoop developers are liberals so they couldn't get any support for Scoop which crashes all the time so they abandoned Scoop and their website sucks and I think that's funny and rusty should maybe consider fixing Scoop but it's not really his problem because Bush is the devil and we know how saintly rusty is and he wouldn't work for the devil.

It has been well recorded that the mid-nineties are best known for sudden popularity of independent cinema, but independent from what? The term "indie" is as slippery when applied to films as it is to music. The studio at the vanguard of this "revolution" was Miramax, which was long a subsidiary of Disney, and as for the "revolution" itself, it unleashed more painful and derivative Pulp Fiction clones than it did anything truly revolutionary. It was bled dry, turned inside out, repackaged, and sold back to the masses until it became the paradigm of unhipness. This seems to be the nature of all revolutions, from the Soviets to the Sixties; the bullshit always comes full circle.     While it's easy to be cynical of all so-called revolutions in hindsight, what one can't be cynical about is the intense enthusiasm audiences had for the so-called independent cinema of this era. To every person who ever dreamed of being in the director's chair, it seemed like all one needed to have the new hit movie was a vast knowledge of pop culture, the ability to write pages worth of rambling dialogue, and a Visa card.

There are certain axioms of pop culture. "American Idol" judges will be mean. Prince will rock. Super Bowl ads will be more violent than the Super Bowl itself.

Mr. Mallon voiced the longing of all in politics with his suggestion that criticism of public servants is best delivered after walking a mile (or perhaps even just a couple hundred yards) in a public manâs (and presumably womanâs) shoes. The formula is even more problematic applied to a former public manâs efforts to walk [...].
