I’m still overdue on that Superman review. On top of that, I saw the Devil Wears Prada, and then the play Rent. So now, I’ve got an entire A&E column to write. In the meantime, here are some videos for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy Margaret Cho’s Asian Chicken salad joke and the original version of Madonna’s American life.

American Life (madonna)
It’s not her greatest song, but the point of the video is very succinct. Once you get past the silly rap of drinking soy lattes and driving Mini Coopers, the song’s message is very germane. War is never cool, and Madonna certainly did not pull any punches in making this video. The question is, why was the video only aired only a few times, only to be replaced by the more banal version with the flags?
