			- Craig Kilborn, on The Daily Show

                               &&&&&&&&&&

Bombs Away: "The U.S. has attacked terrorists camps in Sudan and
Afghanistan. President Clinton has left open the possibility that other
subversive areas could be hit.  Iraq, Tunisia, Libya, Ken Starr's office..."
(Alan Ray)

Boston Barnicle: "Boston Globe writer Mike Barnicle has resigned amid
reports he fabricated a column.  He has learned what making up stories will
get you.  He just got a job offer from CNN." (Ray)

Starr Witness: "President Clinton reportedly gave a DNA sample to the
special prosecutor.  Finally, Ken Starr has what he's wanted from the
beginning.  Blood." (Ray)

Starr Struck: "Monica Lewinski was called back for a second time to Ken
Starr's grand jury.  She'll say what she's been saying all along.  Being
the president girlfriend sucks." (Ray)

Pot Meets Kettle: Geraldo Rivera has said that Jerry Springer is the most
shameful man in America. "Geraldo lost the title when his show went off the
air." (Gary Easley)

Bitter Pill: Last week was the 38th anniversary of the sale of the first
birth control pills.  "And today is the 38th anniversary of the first guy
going, 'What do you mean you forgot?'" (Jay Leno)

Changing Places: The Newport Harbor Nautical Museaum will serve a duplicate
of the last meal on the Titanic.  "For a touch of realism, there will be no
dessert." (Stan Kaplan)
