Amen, and good morning to all.

DESPITE being frustrated by traffic jams on his commute from Chappaqua to his Harlem office, Bill Clinton says he has no plans to buy a pied-a-terre on the Upper West Side. The former president — who was a half-hour late to a press conference yesterday denied The Post's story that he's looking for a pad in the city, Stefan C. Friedman reports from our City Hall bureau.
"No offense to the Upper West Side, but . . . I'm not a two-house sort of guy," Clinton said. "I'm kind of a nester. I've got a place to live, and I'm going to live there." After apologizing for keeping reporters waiting, Clinton continued, "I think I'm just going to start taking the train."

PAT Boone says he'll never watch CBS again because "60 Minutes II" aired images of the Abu Ghraib prison abuse. The squeaky-clean crooner claims that showing those pictures has made the U.S. more of a target than ever.
"For me, CBS has become 'the enemy within,' and I hope never to watch the network again," Boone wrote in a letter to conservative NewsMax.com.
Boone the famously bland singer who was once criticized for singing cleaned-up versions of songs made popular by black singers (he changed Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame" to "Isn't That a Shame") goes on to say: "I think most Americans ought to reflect on the results of their irresponsible and unpatriotic behavior and perhaps narrow their viewing options by one network. The next time America or Americans suffer at the hands of terrorists, thank CBS."
Good Morning!
Wonderful opening to this new thread, SL.
