From a stunning 1960s-era Ford Thunderbird, Albert L. "Dapper" O'Neill waved hello and gave a thumbs-up sign. Raymond Flynn, former U.S. ambassador to the Vatican and former Democratic candidate for the Eighth Congressional District, also stopped to speak with Clifford...
...visiting celebs like Julia Roberts. More surprising, the fashion world is taking her seriously. She's had doting spreads in the major women's magazines; last month Cosmopolitan even named her a contributing editor (job description: "providing trend updates, supplying party reports"). "Her designs are like Barbie-slash-Hello Kitty with Liberty of London mixed in," gushes designer Betsey Johnson. "Kind of Brigitte Bardot and beyond."

So when the government decided to spend $250,000 on caffeinated-gum research, I was thrilled. Instead of money wasted on defense (Hello? We haven't been invaded since 1812) or that unfinished FICA project I keep reading about on my pay stub, this would help someone with a real problem. Soon I too could awake groggy and cranky, pull out a couple of sticks of gum, read the paper and then deal with the wife and kids...
