Peter: "Check out his eyebrows. They're all plucked. I'll trim mine and stuff, but never pluck them all out like that...
...briefest State of the Union on record. The presidential joke had a certain self-deprecating quality, as Clinton's infamously long 1995 address lasted 81 minutes. Just a year ago, pundits and politicos were saying "Thank you and good night" to the Clinton presidency, but after the President's trim, one-hour speech last week, it was morning in Bill Clinton's America.

...Kemp Commission will attempt to duck the toughest issues. It will advocate a tax with a single, low rate to replace the current five-rate system. But it will leave to the politicians the question whether to keep, trim or discard the mortgage-interest and charitable write-offs. It also will leave open the possibility of retaining the tax incentives for retirement plans like the 401(k). A partial draft of its report does not say where the flat rate or the personal exemption should be set. Although the draft does not contain it now, the report might even allow...
