...Kerry's to lose. Now he appears to be losing it--or at least that slight edge he had gained. First came the Senator's latest clear-as-mud explanation of his position on the Iraq war; then, more harmfully, came the sabotage by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Just as President Bush and the Republicans take their turn in the spotlight at their gathering in New York City, Kerry finds himself having to prove all over again to wary swing voters that he has what it takes to be Commander in Chief...
...attitude he still brings to life and science. Watson referred to Crick's longtime hostility to religious revelation and said his colleague viewed religion as "perpetuating mistakes from the past."

The Swifties' ability to dominate the news with incendiary nonsense is, I believe, a direct result of Kerry's unwillingness to dominate the news with tart, controversial substance by challenging the President on Iraq...
...angriest exes. Some parents never accept the fifty-fifty split and appeal endlessly to the courts for modifications, says Candice Komar, a family-law attorney in Pittsburgh. "They'll say it's in the best interest of the child to change the custody arrangement," she says. "But the truth is, often it's because joint custody is driving these parents crazy. I've had people consult me because they fight over whether their child wears a spring coat or a winter coat--and I'm not kidding...
