The Johnny Cash estate halted Preparation H from using the
song Ring of Fire as a hemorrhoid commercial jingle. The company

the nation. If those two guys kill each other, Dennis Kucinich
could be the next president of the United States.
John Kerry was endorsed by the AFL-CIO on Friday despite his

from the Democratic race. He still has a future in presidential
politics. He lost so badly it impressed the Green Party.
The Louisville Slugger Museum Wednesday received a bat used by Babe Ruth. He used the bat during his last full season in the majors. You can tell the bat was used toward the end of his career because Mike Ditka's name is burned on the barrel.
