...Clark suffers intermittent spasms of goofiness, he also shows some courage on the trail. He has been as unabashed as Lieberman in support of free trade; he favors lifting the trade embargo on Cuba. (Dean has skittered away from both positions.) His least satisfying position is on the issue he says is most important: the war. He says he has a "success strategy," but he doesn't sound much different from the other Democrats. He wants NATO in charge of the military operation and the United Nations in charge of civil affairs, though neither NATO nor the U.N. has shown...

It's time to take care of our own instead of everybody else in the world. V. Daniels Gulfport, Miss...
Aesop has been known to approach a topic so obliquely that he seems to rap nonsense. What does he mean when he says, “Embargo piggy-backers navigate SimCity backwards”? Probably nothing, but it sounds dope. Bazooka Tooth contains more nonsense than ever, but at the same time it’s lyrics highlight one of Ace’s longtime preoccupations—the relationship between man and his machines. The subject is embodied in the title, which juxtaposes animal and metal, and in the music itself...
