How To Tell Democrats From TerroristsBy Dr. Brooks A.

Last year, Damon had 197 hits and 53 walks, including 51 extra-base hits, and now he will bat ahead of three players who might be Hall of Famers, eventually -- Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Gary Sheffield. He'll hit ahead of Jason Giambi and Hideki Matsui and Jorge

Forget King Kong, We got Snowzilla!ANCHORAGE, Alaska - With the help of his kids and neighbors, Billy Ray Powers built more than just a snowman — they've dubbed his 16-plus-foot-tall creation "Snowzilla."After using up all the snow in the family's yard, they turned to neighbors' yards and carried buckets on sleds.

Now that I drive an hour one way to work every day, I have met some of the world's worst drivers, usually when I'm running late.

How To Be A Good Democrat1. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.2. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of

The Legend of Zell - My New HeroI really don't know what to say. I'm speechless. I honestly thought that after Guiliani, Ahhhnold, McCain, etc., that tonight would be a letdown. I didn't know I would get to hear a country preacher on Wednesday night. By far the best speech this week, or at least the most animated, would have to be the one given by Zell Miller. If you are not into politics and

Livin' ItSo I saw Stephen Baldwin being interviewed at the Republican National Convention and I have to admit, my first thought was, "What is he doing there?" Kind of the same thing I said out loud when I saw Michael Moore there.My discombobulation was not immediately remedied because of the polarity of his dialogue and image. I couldn't get over the fact that he was a Baldwin at the Republican
