    Which is why New York City is among the greatest cities: You can get your drink on, even get sloppy, then hail a cab home. A car is a drinking girl's worst enemy. Second worst: the fuzz.

    Back in the mid-90's there was a great magazine called Bikini, and for a while they had a "Dick of the Month" feature. NASCAR driver Dick Trickle and (I believe) Chicago weatherperson Dick Johnson were among the honorees.

    I think we need to bring back the Dick of the Month.

    First a Dem (Kerry's daughter) now a Repub (Lugar's wife). The trifecta will be complete if an independent goes next.

    Lieberman? Bloomberg?

    Is it coincidence or strange and inevitable fate that Sen. Byrd should, in his old age, begin to look like the very creature for which he is, sorta, named?

    @Taren: He, of all people, should have done something about it then. WV dog fighting laws rank 46th out of 5o states in severity, according to this:
    [www.humanesociety.org]

    This is as of two weeks ago. Michael Vick was convicted in August, 2007. He's a racist.

    @son of spam:

    He's the senator from W. Virginia, not the governor. He doesn't have the power to make or change their laws. As a senator, he can only vote for federal laws and if any that deal with dog fighting manage to reach the senate, then we'll see what he really thinks. Also, declaring that one black man should get the death penalty does not a racist make.

    Of course I do. I also know that Sen. Byrd has spent decades making up for past wrongs. He's apologized and his voting record has, in my opinion, made up for that. If that's not good enough for you, then that's your opinion.
