Alright, you marching-backward Christian soldiers. So you’re still hung up on the notion that we killed your Lord Savior (never mind that he was a socialist Jewish Rabbi). But the Chosen People are willing to get past 2000 years of persecution at your hands, so let’s it call it even and move on — (no, not MoveOn.org). After all, Clemens pitched for the Yankees, so anything is possible....

"Nevada
gubernatorial candidate Jim Gibbons has been accused of trying to fondle a

Katherine Harris
Everyone has a favorite
Katherine Harris story. And for Dornan it was the time Harris picked a fight
with TV pundit Joe Scarborough when his name was rumored to be among her
possible challengers in the GOP primary. She called at least a few GOP
fundraisers, Dornan said, and questioned whether Scarborough was complicit in
killing a former aide whose death was ruled to be from natural causes.
Word reached Scarborough, who said it was so ''libelous'' that he felt like
suing Harris, quitting his MSNBC show Scarborough Country and running against
her. He didn't. Harris denied she ever said anything against Scarborough.

Barbara Bush tries to comfort her son, George. Just kidding, Bonobo apes, primates unique to Congo and humankind's closest relative, groom one another at a sanctuary just outside the capital Kinshasa, October 31, 2006. Scientifically named Pan paniscus, but more commonly known as pygmy chimpanzees, bonobos share 98.4% of their genetic make-up with humans, but are at risk of extinction due to more than a decade of conflict in Central Africa.
