...gays to partial-birth abortions the GOP's fiery right-wingers have little problem making themselves heard in an election season. But a new poll, commissioned the Republican Leadership Council, indicates that the GOP's sensible silent -- the fiscally conservative but socially hands-off moderates -- had better get their turn at the mic if the party expects to win elections. "If Republicans focus on moral issues there is a real chance we will lose the House of Representatives," poll taker Kieran Mahoney told reporters Monday...
...guys. Dogged investigation and Murtaugh's offer of shelter to a few of the refugees mire the duo and their families deep in the machinations of the fearsome Chinese Triad gang. Busting the Triad's multifaceted criminal empire proves to be a tall order for the aging cops, who turn an old catch phrase of Murtaugh's into a new mantra now that running and fighting are taking a heavy toll on wellworn joints: "We're not too old for this shit...

Gibson and Glover turn the cops' bad habit of saving serious conversations for the middle of serious conflagrations into uproarious hilarity. Murtaugh and Riggs may be a pair of fools, but Glover and Gibson make them great...

(A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control found that, all other things being equal, the risk of infant death was 19% lower for full-term deliveries attended by certified nurse midwives than for those attended by physicians--perhaps because midwives are slower to turn to higher-risk procedures like C-sections and forceps deliveries.) And if you want to keep tabs on what else is and isn't known about birthing babies, check in with the Cochrane Collaboration, an international group of researchers that reviews medical data. For nearly 20 years they've been sorting...
