...Douglas C. Byrd ’02 was clearly going to get it on with the very-intoxicated Briana C. Rodriguez ’04 last weekend at the Phoenix. While making out, she pulled him into the bathroom and lowered her pants. As he delicately tells it, “I totally thought I’d get all up in that. So I thought I’d ‘flip her the Byrd,’ if you know what I’m saying—show her my nuts. Then, she backs into...
Bush might have won some of these fights, legislators say, if he had worked a little harder to stroke Congress.

Majority leader Tom Daschle has begun talking of attaching Senator Robert Byrd's $20 billion "homeland security" package to the legislation as well. It is hard to argue against the need for beefing up meat and poultry inspections and stockpiling vaccines, but any direct economic benefit is probably four or five years away. The real reason for adding Byrd's proposal...
