The email thing is bullshit. Looks and smells incredibly fishy. The changing nature of the global landscape cannot be placed at the feet of the SoS. Russians rattling sabers, the Chinese menacing Asia and the state of affairs in the Middle East are not a reflection on the job she did as SoS. It isn't unless you possess a level of bias and want to irrationally throw it on her shoulders in a transparent partisan play.

When Boxer came out, I was all about it. It was when The National clicked with me. Over the years, I've come to appreciate the brilliance of Alligator and I think it is the quintessential National record. It's a great entry point not only because it is a great record, but it also is the ultimate litmus test as to whether or not The National is for you.

Etcetera?

Mick: This is bullshit! We're gonna sue the britches off ol' Neil! Keef: Aww, lighten up, Brenda. I mean, he admits he's all fucked up. He's alright in my book.
