It's The Economy, Stupid: Economists are predicting a rosy long-term future
for the U.S.  They're so optimistic, in fact, they predict panhandlers will
soon be asking, "Brother, can you spare a T-bill?" (Paul Ecker)

Sex and Scandal (Part 467): "The military does seem to be taking it in
stride.  In fact, today the Pentagon released their new camouflaged

Lawyers for Paula Jones say that if necessary they are prepared to bring up
President Clinton's sexual history.  "I hope she's not paying them by the
hour." (Steve Voldseth)

Meantime, Mother Teresa was in Washington to get the Congressional gold
medal.  She should stay in town.  With her background, she is the only
person currently qualified to head the Joint Chiefs. (Argus Hamilton)

say, 'Why not?'"

The FBI said it's certain the Olympic bombing in Atlanta is linked to two
other local bombings. Unless, of course, if it turns out it isn't linked."

Hoops, Not Dreams: Dennis Rodman took off for Las Vegas after his Bulls lost
to the Jazz. The Bulls are worried.  If he gets that job with Siegfried and
Roy, he may not be back for Game 5." (Hamilton)
