Clinton-Clark or Clark-Clinton?
On the same day that he was the only Democrat allowed to speak to members of the Democratic National Committee without making his 2008 intentions known, Gen. Wesley Clark raised speculation as to whether he is angling to be Sen. Hillary Clinton's, D-N.Y., running mate.
"I'm a great admirer of
Senator Clinton. I think she's terrific," Clark told ABC News with a sly smile
when asked if he shared a former aide's assessment that "a Clinton-Clark ticket
has a nice ring to it."

Komodo Dragon, Gift to Bush Sr., Dies
Washington Post, DC
This island resort in the United Arab Emirates is the largest man made island in the world. The Palm Jumeirah consists of a trunk, a crown with 17 fronts, and a surrounding crescent island that forms an 11 kilometer-long breakwater. The island itself is 5 kilometers by 5 kilometers. Maybe Bush should hire these guys to help rebuild New Orleans?
Peace.
