| HOUND DOG BILL IS BACK - AND HE'S BARKING LOUD
Despite reports, it's probably easier to pen in press than it is to subdue and shut up the testosterone-fueled bad boy as he travels from state to state stumping and pressing the flesh (OK, bad choice of words) with the thousands of adoring fans who crowd him unrestrained after his speeches. But clearly Team Clinton was in damage-control mode during the week, trying to make up for his untoward, racially insensitive remarks. (The jury is still out about whether or not they were really off the cuff or not.) He was introduced at each of his last-minute-arranged, hectic venues by prominent African-Americans and Hispanics. There was former Mayor Wellington Webb in Denver, Mayor Martin Chavez in Albuquerque, and Queens Congressman Gregory Meeks in Phoenix and Albuquerque. It's clear that Hound Dog Bill wants to be in the White House again, even if that takes getting America to elect his wife.

For those of you who love abortion so much, you can move to Oregon or California and abort your heart out. Me? I like living in a state that appreciates the value of human life.In the Top 10 Most Pro-Life, number 6 out of 50 for South Dakota isn't too bad. But we can keep working for #1. Maybe if we get the abortion ban passed this year, we'll get #1 next year! .

National Half Marathon titles for Carney, O'Neill Carney's time of 1:02:21 earned him his first USA championship win while O'Neill also won her first national title in 1:11:57.
