The cover of today's Parade:

If you can't make out the text toward the top of the photo, it
says, "Is Benazir Bhutto America's best hope against al-Qaeda?" I'm
going to go out on a limb and say, "I sure hope not."

"You read PARADE?!"
And where do you go for your weekly dose of "Howard Huge,"
smartypants?
This just goes to prove my theory that many newspapers are written by a throng of inefficient robots...
And now Bhutto's 19-year-old son is co-chairman of Bhutto's political party. So, real democracy movement or cult of personality? You decide.

Considering that our current president is the son of a former

Sounds like our politics since 1988 if Hillary gets the nod.
Parade couldn't of pulled that story and replaced it with something else? Most Parade articles seems as if they where written in about 15 minuets.
I am what the terroists most fear.
What? A corpse? A pretty face? What?
And where do you go for your weekly dose of "Howard Huge,"
smartypants?
I get it for the articles.
"ASININE HEALTH ADVICE THAT YOUR MOM WILL TAKE TO HEART AND TRY
TO IMPOSE ON YOU WHENEVER YOU VISIT."
"Hope you like drinking soy milk"
"Why are you so glum, Alvy?"
"Well, I read this article in Parade about how the
universe keeps expanding."
"Cheer up, Alvy! Look around you! Brooklyn isn't expanding!"
Considering that our current president is the son of a former president and the wife of the president before him is running for president...
Well, of course the Clinton wing of the Democrats is a
cult of personality.
But I don't know what the Bushes are. To have a cult of
personality, you first need a personality.

"What's this?"
"Just Kool-Aid."
"Well . . . it's purple."

BRITNEY SEES CHRIST ON A CRACKER! GOSPEL ALBUM DUE OUT BY
FALL!
Unlike Wilson Bryan
Key, Britney Spears doesn't claim to have a Ph.D. Nevertheless,
Spears sees Christ where Dr. Key sees only the word "sex."
Makes you think, don't it?
Benazir got her Bhut kicked.
'Nuff said.
Are you aware that Britney got hauled away in an ambulance?
Are you aware that Britney got hauled away in an

I believe she was wearing one of those bathrobes with the sleeves
which tie in the back.

He's just a cheap imitation of Marmaduke.
A: I don't get this one.
B: (Looks over his shoulder) The dog's really big.
A: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh...HA!
Once again, joe, you're missing the point. Yes, Howard Huge, is big, but what makes him special is that he has a big heart!
The manufacturing guys over at Evolving Excellence have some
comments on how long publication lead times created the Parade
fiasco with the Bhutto article. Interesting about how the digital
files are created in India and the publication outsourcing
demands.
