BOOBS, CAREER SAGGING: It's true, I'm no Madonna fan. So yes, I did delight in Josh Tyrangiel's unfavorable review of her opportunistically titled AMERICAN LIFE. This part in particular elicited a snicker:

Like Laurence Fishburne's oddball Morpheus in The Matrix, Madonna tries to accentuate the plight of humanity by enunciating like a robot. Her mechanical rap at the end of the first single, American Life--"I'm drinking a soy latte/I get a double shote/It goes right through my body/And you know I'm satisfied"--may be ironic, but it's also thoroughly annoying.

Okay, Michiko Kakutani it ain't. But I liked it.
