...oldest hangover remedy is to simply keep drinking. The "hair of the dog" method of self-medication has been around since alcohol was invented, although the canine-related term is actually British (it refers to an old folk remedy for a rabid dog bite). Dean Martin recommended it. So did Ernest Hemingway - but then again, he had issues...
Peter--who was like a son to me--was a good friend and a man who adored his family. He was extremely devoted to his wife and two children--and rabid about his dog.

Unlike the freakishly devoted Obama acolytes and those rabid, occasionally obscenity-shouting McCain-Palin fans, the undecided voter is taking her time. She's also one of the few Americans whose vote this year could actually be decisive, since some polls in swing states like Florida and Missouri show the undecided bloc to be larger than either candidate's lead...
