The Woman of Whitewater Susan McDougal, the bit player of the Clinton-era Whitewater scandal, is making a comeback. We hear that Hollywood producers are looking at making a story of her life. You remember her: She was the young woman once married to scandal figure Jim McDougal who went to jail for 18 months instead of testifying. Moviemakers like Paul Haggis of Oscar winners Crash and Million Dollar Baby were in Little Rock last week scouting locations, and word is that Charlize Theron is their McDougal choice.

GORE - OUT, DASCHLE - OUT, Clark out also. IN: Lieberman, Kerry, Edwards, Sharpton, Dean, Gephardt MAYBE'S: Mosely-Braun, Kucinich, Graham, Dodd, Biden 3rd party maybes: McKinney, Nader The only potential DEM candidate to out-poll Hillary during 2002, Al Gore, is out of the race, so he says.

I chose the analogy of the DOOMSDAY CLOCK as a useful tool for measuring the advances and retreats of this impending threat by means of inspiring and soliciting public debate on the...

A Laugh-a-minute That was another great line our former president and current entertainer-in-chief got off at West Memphis the other day. It helped that he was in front of an audience in need of a laugh these days, and who isn't? This was a a semi-Democratic crowd. Only semi, because some Democrats running for high office didn¹t choose to be seen on stage with the cut-up. We won't mention which Democrat was suspiciously absent . . . but his initials are Mark Pryor, he¹s the current attorney general of Arkansas, and he looked remarkably well rested in a debate Tuesday...

Operating on the old PPPPPP Principle, (Proper Planning Prevents P*** Poor Performance), I propose a hypothetical question, several questions actually, concerning a possible result of this November's elections. What if either party, in either the House or Senate, winds up with a 1-seat majority? Who would be a possible/likely person to crossover?

Former Little League Administrator Faces Child Porn Charges (KFWB) 3.06.02, 5:15p -- A former Long Beach Little League administrator is facing federal child pornography charges, according to the FBI. Signal Hill police and FBI agents arrested Laurent Blumenthal Tuesday after he was indicted on charges of possession of child pornography.

Investigators also seized a computer at Blumenthal's home which allegedly had ...
