Last week Rudy and Hillary kept their battered, tormented psyches under control, but how long can it be before she lashes out at the vast right-wing conspiracy and he lashes out at everyone else: food vendors he doesn't approve of, uncurbed dog owners, community gardens (sell 'em) and jaywalkers? But so long as his Inner Tyrant is dormant, Rudy is one photo op after another. As Hillary traveled the state "listening," the mayor never sat down or shut up. While she got away with answering a measly eight questions from reporters, Rudy was taking eight a minute...
...retail industries. From the Rolls-Royce dealership on down, the whole town was getting shuttered. "I don't know, Dickey," Bush said. He was about to turn 40.

The Everquest team, says 989 president Kelly Flock, took a chance by deciding to leap-frog the 2-D Ultima and create a game so graphics-rich it would require a 3-D-accelerated PC in order to play...
...grown up with the Internet, so I know firsthand what the dangers are and what the pleasures can be. Those who say violent games are the reason for the Colorado high school shootings must not have played the games all that much. I have played every 3-D shoot-'em-up there is.
