...champ, and Democratic Sen. Byron Dorgan has sponsored a similar resolution in the U.S. Senate, citing the ongoing steroids scandal. "Some of us think [Maris's] home run record still stands," Dorgan said during Commerce Committee hearings last year on steroids and baseball, "and that is a sad comment on baseball." Appearing before the committee, Sosa denied using steroids, and McGwire refused to answer questions about steroid us (though he did admit to previously using the legal supplement androstein). Bonds has repeatedly denied knowingly using any performance-enhancing drugs...
...inaccurate information can't make informed decisions about what to eat. Robert's American Gourmet just settled a class action claiming that the firm misstated the calorie and fat content of the popular Pirate's Booty snack and reportedly paid out more than $3 million.

...immigrants to vote, when she told a Latino audience, "You don't need papers for voting." Though she quickly corrected the slip, saying that she meant "you don't need to be a registered voter" to help the campaign, conservative talk radio hosts had a field day with the comment, which carried particular resonance in a district so near the Mexican border. Yet, even though it came back to haunt her, Busby's gaffe may ultimately hurt Republicans' ability to present a united front this fall. Strategists in both parties say that her experience will make it even more difficult...
