Dennis Rodman: "An NBA championship, an MVP trophy" ...well, no, actually, try more gullible ad executives and CEO's willing to pass out million-dollar endorsement deals like Halloween candy...
...such force, but a federal appeals court the same year said that ruling shouldn't apply once a criminal suspect had been arrested.WITCH-STATE SEPARATION?

In fact the 11th-hour tactics -- as well as their implication for the next Congress -- seemed destined only to make voters angrier. On Halloween, Bill Clinton launched an eight-day, scare-out-the-vote tour, arguing that the Republicans would do everything from closing Yellowstone National Park to slowing racial progress. His favorite gambit was to claim at nearly every stop that Republicans wanted to cut the benefits of Social Security recipients by $2,000 each. However improbable -- and hypocritical...
