...news for "Jenny Jones" killer Jonathan Schmitz ? a second conviction for the second-degree murder of gay admirer Scott Amedure ? might be good news for Time Warner. In April, a jury ordered the media giant (which owns Warner Bros., producer of "The Jenny Jones Show," as well as this publication) to pay $25 million to Amedure?s family for driving Schmitz to commit murder. The case is now on appeal ? and Schmitz? day in court may help that $25 million judgment disappear. "It?s likely that the verdict won?t hold up before an appellate court of judges anyway ? they...
...have less in common. One group researches stocks, tries to get comfortable with the products and the financials, and then buys and holds. The other does little research, never wants to be comfortable with the stocks, and buys and sells the stocks over and over again. Yet the media can't tell them apart.

To that end, another entreaty, for Aug. 19, titled "Campaign Funding," hopes that "Gary will value prayer over the presidency as the key to the presidency and the Father as the key to funding...
Warren Beatty--the people's candidate. A joke? In the age of Jesse Ventura, there are no jokes in politics, just long shots with varying chances of paying off. Knowing this, the media took Beatty's comments seriously, filling the papers with stories about a man who may, according to cynical observers, be perversely overqualified for the nation's highest office. He has not only made better movies than Ronald Reagan, but his legendary years of womanizing make Clinton look like a Mormon missionary and J.F.K. like a rural parish priest. A Beatty campaign, it seems fair to speculate, would...
