...never know how the game would have ended. Baer has proved that he can be both wrong and arrogant, but he is obviously not stupid. On April 1, he helped the man who appointed him by reversing his ruling, which left the President free to climb back onto the moral high ground. "It's important not to get into the business of characterizing judges based on one decision they make," Clinton said almost immediately after Baer fell on his gavel.

"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. Mann has the same skill that great tunesmiths like McCartney and Neil Young have: the knack...
