Even before the fat fracas ignited a war of facts, it had already dragged New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg into the lardy mix. At a fire fighters' carb-laden pasta lunch on Jan. 20, when Bloomberg didn't realize he was being filmed by a local TV station, he said, "I don't believe that bulls___, that he dropped dead slipping on the sidewalk." Bloomberg also said the Atkins-friendly food he once sampled at the deceased doctor's home was so bad "I had to spit it into my napkin." And he called Atkins "fat." When pressed...
...just a store opening, but the festivities taking place behind New York City's Lincoln Center could have rivaled the christening of the new Queen Mary. A giant tent glowed with the image of a logo-laden Louis Vuitton trunk, a beacon for the handbag obsessed. On the ceiling inside, tiny stars shaped like Vuitton's LV logo twinkled above the crowd. Kirsten Dunst, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Rudy Giuliani swept in to congratulate LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault on his spectacular four-story Fifth Avenue emporium...
...would indeed be reprehensible if—as Tenet’s testimony suggests—the White House deliberately exaggerated the caveat-laden reports it received from intelligence agencies before the war.

"There are some channels that are very active," this official says, declining to give details for fear they might "dry up." He adds, "There are a lot of people very confident that they have him narrowed to a certain...
Kerry's best lines--his only memorable lines, in fact--have been testosterone-laden attacks on the President: "I know something about aircraft carriers for real, Mr. President" and "This Administration has run the most reckless, arrogant, inept and ideological foreign policy of modern history" and, of course, "Bring it on." The Senator doesn't do so well describing how he would clean up the mess in Iraq or at home. He has the regulation roster of plans and programs; some, like his energy-independence plan, are quite good. But he hasn't yet figured out how to explain them...
