Thanks for the back-handed favor.  gaffa was down for a while, eh?

Well, when the video world-premiered on MTV's "Now Hear This" there was no
laugh and I think we can safely assume that at least this one time the
entire video would have been shown.

Oh puh-leeez!  _The Sensual World_ is a great album but it is not perfection.

BLASPHEMY ALERT!  BLASPHEMY ALERT!

	I don't think Kate has made a perfect album, yet.  Has anyone?
