Girth aside, lest you think I am some inhumane, round-up-the-homeless-and-put-'em-in-a-hole reactionary, let me point out that I am not at all averse to giving spare change to the homeless. Although there are times I wish they wouldn't resort to such maddening gestures like opening the door for me and expecting a "reward" for their efforts--as if my two arms had suddenly become nonfunctional and I would otherwise be unable to enter 7-Eleven to buy a box of Pop Tarts--the truth is that some people are just plain...

He has the give-'em-hell attitude to excite the Reform party's lunatic fringe, and comes with his own built-in constituency ? a rabid band of anti-abortion, pro-prayer protectionists who are fightin' mad over the Republicans' slow-but-insistent move back to the center under George W.

(And two minutes on each to lose $5,000 in Texas Hold 'Em.) Installing the morbidly obese Microsoft Office 2000 took 7 min. 40 sec. on the Dell but 6 min. 30 sec. on the Compaq.
