...round of stinging critiques. "Governor Bush wants us to believe that he is committed to issues like education, health care and the environment," said the Vice President. "But saying it does not make it so. If he's a reformer, where are the results?" Bush brags about his record as Governor, promising the same success for the entire country, but Gore is pointing to a much grimmer Texas. On health care, which Bush largely ignored during his five years in office, Gore notes that the ranks of uninsured poor have increased during the Governor's tenure and that Bush tried...

After several years of knocking around Seattle's punk scene, Case, 29, has released Furnace Room Lullaby (Bloodshot), a turbulent, swift-flowing record that proves the two genres are closer than you might think. Her vocals often sound like a night at the Grand Ole Opry--spiked with punkish energy. "Country in its pure form is very punk," Case says.
