| | | The 53 Worst Politicians in America BY CHUCK STROUSE  King George III was “a Tyrant... unfit to be the ruler of a free people,” Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence exactly 238 years ago this week. Tommy had it right. Ever since then, Americans have been calling out their leaders. “Tyrant” was just the start. We’ve moved on to crook (Nixon), liar (Clinton), and moron (Dubya).

| | | | | | Urine-Obsessed NYC Noise Outfit Yellow Tears Drop a Deuce BY RAY CUMMINGS  Liquid Diet. Soaking Wet From Your Brother's Tears. Paint Gurgle. The titles of Yellow Tears' releases are hardly window dressing. This Brooklyn trio's worldview is thoroughly saturated — splashes, drips, slurps, gushes, flushes, desperate, gargled gasps — set amid whirlpooling perversions of electronic noise imitative of violent viscosity. Provocative samples surface in the mix, but ... more >> | | | | | | The Barn is Burning at Chalk Point Kitchen BY ZACHARY FELDMAN  It really was my fault. I'd entered without a reservation.

Of the many odd things about Chalk Point Kitchen, by far the most disappointing is that it hides... more >> | | | | | | Life Itself Celebrates Roger Ebert and His Capacity for Joy BY STEPHANIE ZACHAREK  To call Roger Ebert one of the great populist film critics is to damn him with faint praise. Though he took pride in working for the scrappier of the two Chicago dailies, the Sun-Times, and though we do have him to thank — or curse — for popularizing the thumbs-up/thumbs-down approach to criticism, his approach to moviegoing was actually refined. When he died last year, he left behind... more >> | | | | | | | | Jeff Koons Clowns Around the Whitney BY CHRISTIAN VIVEROS-FAUNé  The two-year-long drumroll for the Whitney Museum's Jeff Koons retrospective sounds like a nonstop whoopee cushion. The stuttering symphony has included clapper noises from various auction houses, the dueling bongos of twin exhibitions at New York's biggest galleries (Gagosian and David Zwirner), the tom-tom beat of fawning profiles (the New York Times, W, Vanity Fair), and, last week, the bang-t... more >> | | | | | | Runnin' Scared This week the Voice took part in a national project with 50 other alternative press journalists that named the country's worst elected officials.
