...Beijing, Tokyo and Moscow. The Korean economy is faltering. GDP growth is expected to fall by more than half this year, to 4%, the rock bottom by Korean standards, and Korea's exports are slowing fast. For the 15 months left in his term, Kim will probably be a lame duck...
When Ken Jobe, the news director at WLWT-TV in Cincinnati, Ohio, interviews prospective newscasters, the first thing he hears is, "I promise not to run for mayor." Anywhere else, that would be a lame joke; at Channel 5, it's a necessary disclaimer.

But those close to Gore still defend his distance from the scandal-plagued President, and say they hope these next four years further separate...
...America who's into cycling, one of your many problems is that the posters are lame. Sure, there's the double-fist-pump-at-the-sky move at the end of a race, but compared with Jordan dunking on Ewing, it's not that cool. This year Lance Armstrong fixed all that...
