Stuffed Buddy on display at Clinton Library. Will Monica be next?

Sit! Stay! The president reported, after his unfortunate pretzel incident faint, or neurally mediated vasovagal syncope , in the White House private quarters, that he couldn't have been out too long as the dogs were still in the same place and "looking at him funny." One could say the same thing if they fainted at the Clinton library (see today's picture.)

Chill: Democrat graybeards seem to have put out the word this weekend that perhaps pushing an Enron/GOP connection might boomerang big time. They are either smart or scared or both. Was a permanent Ken Lay seat on the Mickey Kantor/Ron Brown Big Bucks Express Plane equal to W calling him "Kenny Boy"? We don't think so. The Washington Post views with caution.
And over at the Times they manage to dissect the Enron problem without so much as a mention of the name Clinton. Pretty fancy footwork.

Chilling: Australian TV showed a seized Al Qaeda video tape of terrorist plans for mass assassination of world leaders during a golf tournament. No one has explained how one gets all those world leaders to a course in the first place but never mind.

Moscow Knights: The Moscow Times reports on a group of Americans who apparently partied hard in Moscow on millions of tax payers' dollars all during the Clinton years with no one watching except one brave whistle blower. Interesting this story pops up in the Moscow Times and not the Washington Post.

Just Plain Silly: Start this frigid Monday with the silliest item on the board. The virgin birth - or a least pregnancy - of a shark in the Omaha zoo that had had no cohabitation with any of the resident male sharks . Seems a majority of our posters so far want to blame Clinton which is truly ridiculous. He was no where near Omaha at the time.
