...went so far overbudget that Francis Ford Coppola had to mortgage his house. Titanic's tab was so big two studios had to go dutch. And don't get me started on Waterworld. But no story factory in recent memory has gotten less bang for its buck (no pun intended, of course) than the White House, in this, its ongoing remake...

When is smoking pot not smoking pot? Clinton had an answer for this paradox. And according to one of the Arkansas state troopers involved in the suddenly tame-seeming Troopergate scandal, Clinton can answer an even harder one: When is fooling around on your wife permissible under the Ten Commandments? He told me, the trooper recalled in the American Spectator, that he had researched the subject in the Bible and oral...
