She now applies this sensibility to everything from an evangelical account of the planes crashing into the towers to a sardonic consideration of the sadomasochistic quotient of living in an orange-alert zone. She also provides a cadenced rant about traveling through other American cities, where the coffee is lousy and the bars close too early, and a perversely poignant interpretation of the pop standard "Leavin' on a Jet Plane" as a hymn to all departures as anticipations of death.
