Bardot went on trial Tuesday charged with "inciting racial hatred," and in view of her four previous convictions on similar charges, prosecutors sought exceptionally stiff penalties of $22,000 and a two-month suspended sentence...
When the Department of Transportation and the D.C. police recently conducted a two-month street-safety campaign, undercover cops at crossings and pull-over police units issued 6,000 tickets - two-thirds to drivers and one-third to pedestrians for jaywalking, Branyan said.

...could argue that the two-month late-night hiatus was a blessing or a curse for candidates. The shows have long since been institutionalized as a free-fire zone on politicians, where ridicule is relentless and labels harden into epitaphs. On the first strike-era Daily Show, on Jan. 7, Jon Stewart bemoaned the agony of watching Mike Huckabee give a victory speech in Iowa with action star Chuck Norris--"Chuck Norris!"--looking over the candidate's shoulder, yet having nowhere to do a Chuck-and-Huck gag the next night...
