With 45% of those surveyed predicting the recession is going to get worse, 51% said that Bush cares more about Big Business than he does about regular people--an ominous combination for the White House.

...wedding itself is a brief procedure, with vows short and to the point. (“Maria, I love you’s, I adoh-wa you’s,” Joey intones vacantly, at which point his funereally-clad mother-in-law bitterly screams, “And you believe him?”) The show breaks briefly while the audience joins a buffet line near the edge of the bar, but even there, no one is safe from harassment.
