Page Six:

We hear that some citizens were dismayed to see all the Secret Service agents loitering outside the Bumble & Bumble salon on East 56th Street yes- terday while Teresa Heinz Kerry had her hair done. [Didn't she tell Cindy Adams she does her own hair? Never mind.] "Our tax dollars at work," groused one voter. ....

YOU have to wonder about Michael Jackson's claim that he replaced Ben Brafman and Mark Geragos as his lawyers because they weren't paying his case enough attention. Brafman confided to a friend just a couple of days ago how he would be flown out to L.A. first-class and put up in a suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel to have just a 20-minute meeting with Jackson, who would sit quietly and barely say a word about the child-molesting charges against him. "Michael Jackson shows less concern and interest in his case than any client I've ever had," Brafman told one friend.

Speaking of Michael Jackson, the NY Daily News reports:

Michael Jackson may have split with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, but at least they can agree on clothes. Jackson has summoned Farrakhan's personal designer, [How much can you do with a white shirt and bow tie?] Willie Scott, to make a custom outfit for every day of his child-molestation trial. "Michael always complimented [Farrakhan] on his clothes and [his son] Josh Farrakhan told him to get in touch with me right away," Scott tells us. full story

Glad Michael is concerned about the really important aspects of the trial. His life is a mess, but is he smartly dressed?

Concerning snarlin Arlen's win, grrrr..... Let's just say I didn't cast my vote for him yesterday.

"Michael always complimented [Farrakhan] on his clothes

Eh? Suppose it went something like: People that don't wear a bow tie are ignorant.

Ah did not send that envelope containing white powder to my office to deflect attention from my treasonous wife's big ugly mouth.

Former president Bill Clinton (news - web sites)'s office was briefly evacuated after a worker opened a package containing a suspicious powder, police said.

A Secret Service agent assigned to the Harlem office opened the package at about 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, police said. A letter and a vial of powder were inside.

Preliminary tests were negative for anthrax.

Clinton was not in the office when the package was opened. Not in the office? That's nothing new. Link
