...Probably not enough kudos, however, to keep black Oklahoma congressman J. C. Watts on the running-mate list. And speaking of racially based calculations: another hopeful just struck off the veep roster, one supposes, is Christine Todd Whitman, though for different reasons. The New Jersey governor sunk further into her own racial-profiling mess when a photo of her, gleefully frisking a black man on one of her ride-alongs with the cops, hit the papers Tuesday in full glory...

Yet as much as I agree with the high court's ruling...
...mail on something smaller than a Twinkie. But I've always thought carrying a cell phone everywhere you went was silly--just another must-have gadget designed to keep boredom at bay. Factor in the $400 list price from Sprint PCS (or $500 from Verizon Wireless), and this bauble struck me as something I could live without...
