...knew that we were going to stir the pot, but I had no idea we'd be this successful," says retired Rear Admiral Roy Hoffmann, Kerry's former commander and founder of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBVT). By last Friday the group said its website alone had raised $2.5 million from 37,183 donors--money Hoffmann says he plans to use to pummel Kerry with ads right up to Election Day.

What could it possibly mean to Rangers' Georgian striker Shota Arveladze when those cheering his team on against Celtic are singing "We're up to our knees in Fenian blood!" ? And what passions does an IRA anthem stir in the heart of Celtic's favorite forward, Henrik Larsson, whose mother is Swedish and whose father hails from the West African island of Cabo Verde? Once, Rangers only signed Protestant players; today, like Celtic, they've followed the trend of shopping in soccer's global labor market in order...
