...Baker wouldn't declare victory. Instead, he's free to get behind hand counts, with a standard and only if it's truly statewide. New Republican diversion: The overvotes. "There were 175,000 ballots rejected in the state of Florida," Baker declared. "They have to be counted too." He's not sure the vote-reading machines are reliable. But between Wells and Scalia, he figures he's got enough blockers to get Bush in the end zone, and plenty of legal experts say he's correct...
...peace agreement with the Palestinians on which to base his campaign. The continuing violence, which showed signs of escalating last Friday in a day of clashes that killed seven Palestinians and three Israelis across the West Bank, renders extremely unlikely the prospect of a peace deal before election day. Instead, Barak will likely seek to underline his credentials as a military man who can maintain the tough posture Israeli voters desire even as he seeks a peace agreement.

Georges 2 is a pimp whose assets include Chery 2; George 3 is Georgia, a woman, and Chery #3 is Chuck...
...election. The present election has been a depressing drought for anyone who cares about music and the politics of sexiness. One shudders to think whose Doppelganger Al Gore '69 is, if Clinton is heir to the King. Perhaps Pat Boone? Gary Lewis? Better, I think, not to stretch, and instead to wait for a politician who has half the gusto of a Clinton or a Pierre Trudeau. Our natural disgust for the insipid, bloodless legalism of this election, coupled with Marcus' insights on our attraction to political depravity, go a long way toward explaining what the hell we must have...
