"It was innocent fun," (the students) laughed and laughed. They're still
laughing about it. I think everyone took it as such - as innocent fun."
-Aron D. Bright, wrestling coach, history and geography teacher at Avon
(Indiana)High School
who bit off the head of a live sparrow in front of students.
Back Down The Rabbit Hole: Michael Kelly does a nice neat job of thwacking
Jimmy Carter in much the same manner Carter smote the killer bunny with a
canoe paddle back then when the world was held hostage.
Appearing from the Georgian mist
to make inane remarks seems to be a pattern with Mr. Peanut. It
never really changes anything and it makes good column fodder.
They Like Us, They Really Like Us: The New York Times, in an unusual
departure from America bashing, seems duty bound to report a fervent
pro-America demonstration that took place in the Philippines last weekend.
Locals called American troops "angels from heaven"
and a crowd of 2000
sang "America the Beautiful" through all the verses. People who read only the
Times must be asking, "Could this possibly be?"
The Skull and Mr. Bones In Cable Land: Just what America needs, Begala and
Carville at dinnertime. That's what CNN has dreamt up to refresh and revamp
their sluggish evening effort, Crossfire. After a long hard day, there's
nothing like a partisan, spittle laced scream fest put on by two of the least
attractive white men in public life. This is probably the best news their
opposition, Chris Matthews, has had in some time. Click back to Drudge

Drilling Skilling: Senator Barbara Boxer moved into her hectoring Loehmann's
saleslady mode yesterday in an effort to publicly spank an
unrepentant Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling
. She did everything but reach across the table and hit
him with her purse. When her demand to know where he went to school was
answered with "Harvard Business School," muffled guffaws were heard in the
hearing room.
Have A Beer Kid: A survey showing that kids drink one quarter of the booze
sold in this country has gone belly up in less than one news cycle. Pollsters
at Columbia University's National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse,
and its president, Joseph A. Califano Jr., should all have red noses this
morning.
Let's move on now
to those ginned up second hand smoke stats.
Once Upon A Broomstick: No one seems to bat an eye as Hillary resumes her
"due bill" tour that will take her to Iowa and beyond, laying the ground work
for her eventual presidential run. Ooops, we forgot. She said she would serve
out her term in the Senate.
Okay, it's not like she's ever told a lie.
One
should never forget the words of a long ago Clinton insider. "Here's the
plan. Eight years for him. Eight years for her." The blood runs cold.
