It’s hard to find fault with the underground credentials of Vancouver-based punks The WPP. Vocal duties osciallate between all four members, who all play instruments as well, smashing any notions of rock deityhood.

Now that Bush has nominated her to be his Secretary of State, the question is where she stands on the foreign policy fights of the day. Despite four years as one of the Administration's most vocal advocates on this front, Rice has shown few fixed ideological moorings...
