...Ah, the majestic White House. The people's palace. The seat of democracy. Home to the most daring short-sheeters in the free world...
...last time a team as boring as these Giants made the Super Bowl, it was January 1991, and the winning team was... another boring Giants team. Ah, but what a game it was, a 20-19 final in the closest - and perhaps the best - Super Bowl ever.

But ah, the left - there are scattered reports that Senate Democrats will subject Whitman to a hot roasting over her gross ham-handedness with racial profiling in New Jersey. We might even get to see the picture of her frisking the innocent black motorist - and grinning...
