...animals are dropping like, well, flies at Disney's new zoo, and the American Kennel Club is rethinking its position that while Doberman pinschers are kid-friendly, Chihuahuas should be kept away from both junior AND Taco Bell. What's a card-carrying member of PETA to do? Rent 'Pet Sematary', of course (but don't let anyone see you do it), a God-Awful picture that will nevertheless leave you nostalgic for the time when Stephen King could get a $2 million movie deal for his grocery list. Think of it as desert, and remember, to paraphrase the movie...

...bashing best seller Unlimited Access, and the Free Congress Foundation, which once set up a toll-free hot line for women who claimed they had been sexually harassed by President Clinton. (Please hold; your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.) Yet another Scaife pet project, the Landmark Legal Foundation, has links to James Moody, the lawyer for Linda Tripp, and--very tangentially--to Starr, who once represented, with Landmark, the State of Wisconsin in a school-choice lawsuit...
