...lithe, Alias star Jennifer Garner, wakes up in possession of a Fifth Avenue apartment, a hunky hockey playing bed buddy who calls her “sweet bottom,” and a drawer full of B-cup bras that she can fill out without the help of a wad of quilted Charmin two-ply.

Back in Austin, bored Republicans spread out in the chamber with their feet on the antique furniture. Two of them brought their mitts and played a pretty impressive game of catch. There was also a Texas-size paper-wad fight. They designed milk-carton boxes with the faces of missing Democrats, created a WANTED poster with shots of the rebels, established a toll-free number for information on their whereabouts and made a deck of Iraq-inspired playing cards with pictures of the Democrats on them. They even used the state's public-safety website to run an all-points...
