The tears apparently followed a reference to Clinton’s youthful fashion choices. George reports that "the doctor was saying how proud he was that sheepskin coat- (and) bell- bottom-wearing young...

WASHINGTON — Between Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman's position that the Bush plan in Iraq is working and progress is being made and Rep. John Murtha's call for a speedy withdrawal, a vast number of differences plague Democrats about the war in Iraq. Those differences pose a serious dilemma for one Sen.

US Democratic Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, who had hoped to replace George W. Bush as president yesterday, instead sat in the cold and clapped as the Republican began a second four-year term. Iowa Democratic Senator Tom Harkin patted Senator Kerry on the back shortly before the inauguration Senator Kerry had hoped would be his.

[There are still a surprisingly large number of people who seem to take all UFO reports with complete equanimity and, as it were, refuse to see anything "nasty" anywhere in it.

Once upon a time there was a wicked vizier who was jealous of the sultan's power and sought the throne for himself. He did everything he could to undermine the sultan's authority by making him seem to be a weak and ineffectual leader. The vizier arranged for the sultan's fastest runner to be cut off at the knees, then screamed at the runner for failing to win a 24-mile race. He hung an anchor around the neck of the sultan's best swimmer, then protested that it was "an outrage" when the swimmer failed to beat swimmers from other nations across...

Dear Friends, For more than a decade, Hillary has been campaigning and raising money for Democrats across the country.
