...Greenspan, who looks like he enjoys answering politicians? oafishly loaded questions about as much as he likes tipping his hand on interest rates, did throw his party fellows a few tidbits: Even a big tax cut, properly phased in, wouldn?t spark inflation. And it certainly would be preferable to frittering it away on new spending programs. But give Big Al his druthers, and he?d rather pay down the debt. It isn?t surprising that the Fed Chairman, whose speeches are the economic equivalent of Rorshach tests, left both sides with enough soundbites to claim his support...
...Giuliani appears to have netted more than laughs, though: Republican donors are scrambling to throw money at the First Lady?s likely opponent.

Throw in childhoods with cruel or irresponsible parents, and you've got subjects willing to spend $100 a pop to discover their "true story...
...Frazzled by my introduction, I bounced it in front of home plate and then, forgetting Goeke's advice to look happy if I messed up, made a facial expression that was far more Woody Allen than Kevin Costner. As local sports columnist Mike Hlas commented, "That was one bad throw. I know it's not as easy as it looks, but man." Even worse, Veronica Portillo, a girlfriend of one of the players, said, "You looked a little old for the first pitch. They're usually little kids." But her friend Shannon Kroll said, "Your outfit looked good." I should...
