...along, you had to figure George W. Bush wasn't going to lure his Democratic Cabinet member from the working Senate or House, not with the margins of power as slender as they are in 2001. And Democrats from the Ford, Reagan or Bush administrations were few and far between. So Bush tapped Norman Mineta for transportation secretary - getting diversity, experience and Democratism in one fell swoop - and Hillary won't be the only Clinton holdover working in Washington this year...

With a mop of dark shaggy hair covering his face and tight black pants hardly masking his ultra slender body, the leader of the Foo Fighters recently wowed a packed crowd at the Worcester Palladium with both his onstage antics and his immense musical prowess. For over an hour, the band-featuring Grohl on guitar and vocals and occasionally drums, Nate Mendel on bass, Taylor Hawkins on drums and guitarist Chris Shiflett along for the nationwide tour-rocked hard, splicing and dicing most of the songs from their 1999 album, There is Nothing Left...
