Bill Clinton has seen the dark side but - fittingly in a week in which Star Wars mania has swept America - was saved by the light. A new extract in the paperback edition of his autobiography reveals that the former US president was prey to bizarre apparitions while under anaesthetic for heart surgery last year. "At first I saw a series of dark faces, like death masks, flying towards me and being crushed," Mr Clinton writes. Then, in what could be a metaphor for his political trials and tribulations during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, he reveals that his family...

Finally, liberals have a slogan that A) rhymes and B) is actually true: "Newsweek Lied, People Died!" So you can imagine my surprise to find out conservatives are the only ones saying it. Where's the liberal outrage over the deaths of at least 17 innocent people, thanks to the bogus Newsweek report that American interrogators flushed copies of the Koran down the toilet?

(The) "nuclear option," (is) a parliamentary maneuver to effectively change Senate rules so that only a simple majority is needed to end a filibuster of a judicial nominee. Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said he has not decided whether he would invoke that option next year. Robert F.
