Hi guys. We've all been putting in long hours but we've really come together as a group and I love that. Big thanks to Omar for putting up the poster that says "There is no I in team" as well as the one that says "Hang In There, Baby." That cat is hilarious. However, while we are fighting a jihad, we can't forget to take care of the cave. And frankly I have a few concerns. First of all, while it's good to be concerned about cruise missiles, we should be even more concerned about the scorpions in our cave. ...

This is my first vanity, so please forgive me for the post. My roommate and I have been planning a trip to the far East all year. All of a sudden he has decided we are going to India, and I think this is a terrible idea.

Ex-President Clinton Suspended From Supreme Court WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former President Bill Clinton was suspended on Monday from the practice of law before the U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites) and he must show why he should not be disbarred, the nation's highest court said. In a one-sentence order entitled ``In the matter of discipline of Bill Clinton,'' the justices said the former president would have 40 days to show why he should not be disbarred from practicing law before the high court. On Jan. 19, right before he left office, Clinton admitted giving false, evasive statements about his ...

Clinton and Gore Clashed Over Blame for Election They were two political partners who had barely spoken for a year, but a few days after Al Gore conceded the 2000 presidential election, he and Bill Clinton were finally talking face to face. For more than an hour, in what sources close to both men described as uncommonly blunt language, Gore forcefully told Clinton that his sex scandal and low personal approval ratings were a major impediment to his presidential campaign. Clinton, according to people close to him, was initially taken aback but responded with equal force that it was Gore's ...

Girl Flees From 'Horrible' Princess LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Princess Anne has often been accused of having a rough edge to her tongue, but on Thursday she got a taste of her own medicine from little Anna Engstrom. Anna, five, had been waiting for an hour to hand the princess a posy of flowers during a royal visit to Suffolk in eastern England when she decided she had had enough. ``I don't want to give it to her,'' declared Anna as the bemused princess looked on. ``She's horrible.'' Anna's embarrassed mother, 46-year-old Jill Dale, tried to persuade her daughter to ...

Dear Mr. President: I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically: 1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broaddrick. Are there any others that we should know about? 2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until they were about 10 or so to discuss it with them, but now ...

One of the greatest joys in my life is hearing a good Clinton joke. I'm fairly certain that I'm not the only one, so why not share the wealth?

NEW DELHI, India, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- Right-wing Hindu zealots attacked and humiliated dozens of couples celebrating Valentine's Day in northern India, saying the festival was an incursion of western culture. The Hindustan Times newspaper reported that two girls with their faces bruised from beatings were paraded on a crowded mall Road in Kanpur city. Newspaper reports identified the attackers as the activists of a students' group affiliated with hard-line nationalist organization called RSS, which claimed Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee as a member.

GORONG ISLAND, New Guinea -- A deadly new breed of "super" head lice has killed five people here in the past two weeks -- by boring right into their brains! The mystery parasites have so far proved impervious to every insecticide used against them by anxious health officials. "The tiny creatures burrow directly through the scalp, skull and gray matter," said local dermatologist Dr. Robert Sela. "They prefer to nest in the cerebral cortex, the personality center of the brain. This inevitably drives the victim insane, causing seizures and sometimes death. So far we have been powerless to help these ...

Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a black man named Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was a fellow Panther suspected of disloyalty. Rackley was first tied to a chair. Safely immobilized, his "friends" tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him. When they got tired of torturing Rackley Black Panther member Warren Kimbro took Mr. Rackley's outside and put a bullet in his head. Rackley's body was found floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven, Conn. Maybe at this point you're curious as to what happened ...

The situation: You are in the Midwest, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised, and infrastructure destroyed. Let's say you're a photographer out getting still photos for a news service, traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes. If you were to stumble across Bill Clinton struggling to keep from being swept away in a raging river and you had a choice of rescuing him or getting a Pulitzer prize-winning photograph of the death of a President, what shutter speed would you use?
