Franz Ferdinand combine intelligent innovation with instant accessibility in a way few bands can. For this they owe a good deal to their buoyant rhythm section, comprising bassist Bob Hardy and drummer Paul Thomson, and their stated aim to “make records that girls can dance to, and to cut through postured crap.” Franz Ferdinand leaves the lasting impression of a band with more good ideas and enthusiasm than it knows what to do with...
...upper hand? Australia's government wanted (needed, even) an FTA more than the U.S. did. Culturally and economically, America is where Australian exporters hope to make it.

Americans can't have it both ways. Either we must be willing to undertake pre-emptive actions against governments and groups that are known to be inimical to our nation and might carry out acts of terrorism against...
