...true Bush style, he's not eager to press the hot-buttons - Thompson has avoided beating the drum on divisive issues during four terms in Wisconsin and would appear to have no inclination to start doing so in Washington. He's widely respected and a cinch for confirmation...
...stage adaptations of Nicholas Nickleby and Les Miserables, the show does a faithful and efficient job of translating Bronte's romantic classic to the stage. Jane, the plain but plucky orphan, travels from the home of an aunt who hates her to a strict religious school that tries to drum the spirit out of her, to a position as governess in a fine house whose master, Mr. Rochester, is hiding a dark secret upstairs.

The somewhat tepid crowd immediately warmed up when the Foo Fighters burst onstage with "Stacked Actors," a guitar-heavy power ballad bemoaning the superficiality of Los Angeles...
