freeway chases around the Los Angeles basin as qualifying laps.
The New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals are favored to
meet in the World Series. They have the two biggest fan bases in
America. To get any press coverage during this World Series, John
Kerry and George Bush would have to elope to Vermont.
John Kerry kept his debate answers short and crisp Thursday

Clinton is getting in shape to campaign for John Kerry in the
final days before the November election. How badly does Bill needs
to get out of the house? Hillary is starting to look good.

agreed to tighten its border with Iraq. It's in their national
interest. Syria was alarmed last spring when ten percent of its
labor force didn't show up for work on Cinco de Mayo.

threatening to halt the flow of oil. Crude advanced past fifty
dollars per barrel. It made everybody wistful for the good old
days when crude advances meant that Hillary was out of town.
Merck pharmaceuticals recalled its arthritis drug Vioxx Thursday after it was found by the FDA to increase the risk of heart attacks. The company stock plunged on the news.
