"You pay for the hands they're shaking/ As they struggle with the undertaking/ of simple thought," she cracks on the title song. Lyrically, her acid tongue remains; musically, I'm with Stupid rates as one of the catchiest pop albums of the year, brimming with poised three-minute mini-masterpieces.

...George Stephanopoulos and Mandy Grunwald, I spend my waking hours trying to decipher a political riddle far more baffling than Hillary Clinton's uncanny knack for picking winners in the commodities markets. Who is "Anonymous," the reclusive author of Primary Colors (Random House; $24), the sensitively wrought, deftly drawn, acid-tongued political novel that is a thinly veiled re-creation of the 1992 Democratic primary race...
