...ever committed to tape. Anti-Bush rhetoric abounds on the jangly “Haven’t Got A Clue,” on which Coyne sings “Every time you state your case / the more I want to punch your face.” The spare but anthemic “Free Radicals” tells of an imagined conversation with a suicide bomber. And the rollicking first single, “The W.A.N.D.,” angrily implores listeners to wrest power away from Bush by using magic wands. As always, the Lips give voice...

Yesterday, on a lopsided 31-1 vote, the Undergraduate Council (UC) declared that students enjoy a “right to self-determination in deciding with whom they will live in University housing.” Spare me.From whence does this right emanate?
