...right. Buchanan, set to collect $12 million in federal funds as a reward for Perot's two consecutive over-5 percent showings in 1992 and 1996, will doubtless run an entertaining campaign, screaming to be let into the debates and slinging his witty brand of populist mud into the mainstream fray. He will pray to his big, intrusive God that George W. Bush chooses a pro-choice running mate, because with Nader working the unions, the only table scraps left are disaffected far-righties - and even those are a long shot...

More than 16 million women take the pill, many of them for decades with very few or no side effects, and some doctors argue there is absolutely no good reason those women shouldn't be saved the inconvenience of filling a monthly prescription. There are financial benefits on the line as well: Women would pay less for off-the-shelf pills.
