...gauntlet thrown down before Clinton. Everything about his trip is unconventional, from his choice of towns that he is focusing on - Clinton strongholds like Scranton, Altoona, Wilkes-Barre, mostly working-class and white with lots of Catholics - to his quirky events. The Illinois Senator has scarfed down a hot dog and then gone bowling in Altoona, fed a baby cow in State College, sloshed back a beer and watched college basketball in Burnham, sampled the fares at a chocolate factory in Reading and, oh yeah, led some town halls and rallies as well. "I've been having a good time...
...Tuesday, Bush's former brain, Karl Rove, debuted on Fox News Channel as a political analyst. Genteel, wry and armed with terabytes of political minutiae, he won critical raves. ("One of the best things in television news right now," said the New York Times, the equivalent of a Westminster Dog Show hopeful getting endorsed by Cat Fancy.)

Just beyond the front door, a toilet has exploded into the foyer and a thick sludge of feces seeps across the tiles and into the living room. Beer bottles, wine boxes, cigarette cartons, condom wrappers, dirty clothes and dog chow pile up on the soggy carpeting. Gang tags and drug-addled poetry splash the walls in red, gold and black spray paint. The decimated kitchen counters sag beneath jugs of curdled milk and rot-encrusted dishes. Scratched in the entrance hall is a fitting salutation: "Welcome to Hell...
Bill Clinton knew he was walking a fine line in New Orleans over St. Patrick's Day weekend, when his dual roles - philanthropic ex-President and attack dog for his wife's campaign - seemed at odds. "Since my foundation is a 501(c)3, I don't want to be monitored for violation of crossing the line," Clinton told a group of reporters Saturday at Tulane University, where the nonprofit Clinton Global Initiative had just kicked off the first meeting of CGI U, a branch of the organization that encourages college students to get involved in environmental, social justice...
