...While the protesters, many of whom have been training for the conventions for the better part of the year, touted the same array of causes they paraded through the streets in Philadelphia, the overall mood has been far more tense here in Los Angeles. Protesters say they are ready for the worst; police, apparently following a well-rehearsed script, will only tell reporters, "We're here to protect life and property." The open exchange so many reporters and delegates enjoyed with the Philadelphia cops has vanished, and in its place a tight-lipped silence has fallen...
...Riffage staff members (they draw from music submitted to the site), and Riffage's users rate the music and post reviews. Last week one of the showcased acts was a San Francisco-based country group called the Court and Spark (a user named Rodco called the band "supercool mood country"). Using a 56K modem, it took a mind-numbing 2 hr. 20 min. to download the band's track Sugar Pie in Bed (this critic was able to have a buffet lunch, shop at Barnes & Noble and listen to the new Papa Roach CD in the interim).

...Someone on George Bush's crew is a miracle worker. The man is running in a time of prosperity with the opposition in the White House, and yet he has managed to run a campaign like an incumbent. Someone intuited the prevailing mood of the electorate: that the country can basically run himself, so long as the next guy doesn't leave any fluids in the Oval Office and makes sure Alan Greenspan's getting his soluble fiber. Who really cares - just as long as we like the guy? In fact, who needs some guy with big ideas that just...
Adieu, old chap: Despite his exhaustion, Clinton was in a good mood at this, his last G-8, and often could be seen joking and laughing with his colleagues, with some of whom, like Britain's Tony Blair, France's Jacques Chirac and Germany's Gerhard Schroeder, he's developed close relations over the years. During the traditional "family portrait" of the group, Clinton joked, "This is my last photo, so be serious, do this right." Blair said all the leaders would "miss him greatly," and in an apparent allusion to the President's scandal and impeachment woes, spoke...
