...with brooms. (Insert metaphor for the networks vainlly trying to sweep away the tide of cable and audience fragmentation here.) Still it didn't stop your valiant reporter from rubbernecking at Ashleigh Banfield (who held court around a teensy drinks table - or was it Tina Fey?) and swiping the beef carpaccio with both fists from the passed hors d'oeuvres trays...
...began our Italian feast with a batch of plump scallops ($10) seared to perfection. Lightly washed in a slightly acidic balsamic, the tender scallops were served on a bed of crisp lentils and other spring vegetables. The beef carpaccio ($7) was simple, providing the perfect stage for highlighting the delicious meat. With both these dishes, a colorful plate of crunchy vegetables complemented the softness of flesh...
...Last week, House Majority Leader Dick Armey and another top GOP congressman, J.C. Watts, accused Democrats of what you might call political copyright infringement. Here's their beef.

The man-in-the-street Muslim has one overriding beef with America - its longtime financial, military and diplomatic support of Israel. U.S. aid is why Israel is still armed well enough to take on all its Arab neighbors, why it rolls through the West Bank in tanks while Palestinians have to blow themselves up. Tell the Israelis to stand down or be cut off - and tell the Palestinians to do the same or get the Taliban treatment...
