...Black Angus got sick. MEANWHILE IN COLOMBIA ... Livin' La Vida Loca Forty soldiers were arrested after stealing $9 million in drug money they found in the jungle.

Authorities said the money had belonged to the rebel Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which acquired it from drug cartels...
...midnight," Gephardt insisted, "and getting darker all the time." This is another inveterate Democratic problem: every silver lining comes equipped not just with a cloud, but often with a full-fledged hurricane and heavy coastal flooding.

People gathered at the homes of neighbors who had "color" to watch. They were not disappointed. "Surely there must be fairy dust from coast to coast this morning," raved a critic...
...Just like cooking, laundry is becoming an art form," says Mike Marsden, professor of cultural studies at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond. These "gourmet laundry rooms," as Marsden calls them, began sprouting up in earnest over the past year, and many have media centers with TVs and sound systems, play areas, doghouses and refreshment stations. "No one wants to do the laundry, but you might as well be comfortable while you're doing it," says homeowner Carolyn Hudson of South Shreveport, La. The laundry room in her antiques-filled ranch incorporates a cozy home office where she checks e-mail...
