Michelle, I wouldn't want to worsen my blasphemy record by bring Who,Me? into this. She's a lady, you know, as Dwight so chivalrously informed us. Marc Andreeson does have this well known ho-ho problem, and besides, he's a native cheesehead who's disowned his roots. But to the best of my knowledge he hasn't exhibited any signs of premature senility under deposition, unlike that other Bill, in that other legal matter, who couldn't remember a thing about all that email. Good thing Starr's not on that case :-). Cheers, Dan.

When there are too many kitties around here some of the farmers practice after birth abortion. It involves a gunny sack, a brick and the river. Are they liberals?

Hi Michelle: Looks like there's gonna be a cat fight in Palo Alto: Document 30 of 50. Copyright 1998 The Scotsman Publications Ltd. The Scotsman September 19, 1998, Saturday SECTION: Pg. 13 LENGTH: 591 words HEADLINE: CAROLYN STARR JOINS CHELSEA IN A STUDY OF COSMIC IRONY BYLINE: Tim Cornwell In Los Angeles BODY: THE independent counsel, Kenneth Starr, saw his daughter, Carolyn, start her college career yesterday - at Stanford University, where Chelsea Clinton is a second-year student. For at least two years, if all goes as planned, President Bill Clinton and his nemesis will be fellow parents at the elite private university near San Francisco. Mr Starr and his wife, Alice, were expected to attend a special convocation for first-year students at Stanford today, the same event where Bill and Hillary Clinton took front row seats last year when they went to see Chelsea into the university. Pursuing what is a hallowed tradition for parents world-wide - hauling your grown-up child's suitcases into her college room - Mr Starr and his wife were booked for three nights in a modest suite at the nearby Cardinal Hotel. Accompanied by two US marshals carrying luggage, Mr Starr declined comment on the Clinton crisis. He said merely that he was "just delighted" that Carolyn was going to Stanford, the West Coast's answer to high-flying Harvard and Yale. Classes start at Stanford for the autumn term on 23 September, and there was no sign of the Clintons showing up again this year. The Clintons and the Starrs might possibly cross paths at Parents' Weekend in February, but the Clintons skipped the event this year - as the Lewinsky story was breaking - in favour of taking Chelsea on a ski-iing holiday for her 18th birthday. Stanford University declined any comment on Carolyn Starr's arrival, in keeping with its policy of strictly respecting students' privacy. While a crush of media followed Chelsea's arrival, there was relatively little press attention this time. "The cosmic forces are really at work, aren't they?" quipped a Stanford student, Alejandro Rubio yesterday. Last year, Mr Starr accepted and then, after an outcry, turned down a teaching post at Pepperdine University, in Malibu, several hours drive south of Stanford. That offer, it appears, is still on the table when the Clinton investigation finally reaches a close. Stanford's police chief, Marvin Herrington, said that Mr Starr "is just another parent as far as we're concerned, and we'll protect him the same way as we will other parents who will be here". The Clintons have for years fiercely protected the privacy of their only child, and Chelsea has kept a low profile at Stanford. The student newspaper, the Stanford Daily, made it official policy not to print anything about the president's daughter, even sacking a columnist who broke the rule. The White House and Hillary Clinton's office have also made it their business to offer only the slenderest information on Chelsea, and even through the height of the sex scandal that threatened to disgrace her father, the American press have largely left her alone. Beyond reporting that Chelsea Clinton invited the Reverend Jesse Jackson to the White House after the president made his confession of an affair, press reports have done little more than note that Chelsea took a male friend to meet her parents, or spent a night in hospital with flu. If Chelsea was hoping to escape her parents' troubles and bury herself in college life, the arrival of Mr Starr's daughter -not to mention the imminent broadcast of tapes of her father answering graphic questions on his sexual behaviour - seem certain to make it that much harder. On the other hand, she may take solace in polls showing that Carolyn Starr's father is, if anything, less popular than hers.

OK, when is a better question that if? Posted at 10:43 a.m. PDT Monday, September 14, 1998 More papers call for Clinton to resign WASHINGTON (Reuters) - USA Today, one of the biggest selling U.S. dailies, Monday called on President Clinton to resign immediately for ''failing to put the nation's interests first.'' ''The time for the president to leave is not after months of continued national embarrassment, but now. Bill Clinton should resign,'' it said in an editorial. ''He should resign because he has resolutely failed -- and continues to fail -- the most fundamental test of any president: to put his nation's interests first,'' added the newspaper, which has a nationwide circulation exceeding 1.7 million. USA Today, which vies with the Wall Street Journal for the country's largest circulation, said special prosecutor Kenneth Starr's report on Clinton showed the president began a shallow affair with intern Monica Lewinsky knowing the pain the country would suffer if it came to light. The report, released last Friday, said Clinton committed perjury, tampered with witnesses and abused his power in trying to cover up his affair with Lewinsky. Clinton's lawyers deny he committed those offenses. The scandal threatens to dominate U.S. politics for months as members of Congress debate whether to impeach Clinton. USA Today said Clinton's legal strategy, coupled with his expressions of repentance, might keep him in office. ''It would at best be a hollow victory for someone who has shown himself to be a small man,'' it added. ''A president should be more than that. He should be the extraordinary person (founding father Alexander) Hamilton foresaw -- one who occupies the office with integrity and who instinctively places honesty and the nation's welfare above self-interest,'' it said. ''Bill Clinton has given no sign that he is or can become that kind of person ... Bill Clinton should resign,'' it added. On Sunday, the Mercury News and the Reno Gazette-Journal also called for Clinton's resignation.

<<You forgot Who, Me's implication that Marc Andreesen is a thug!>> Uh, Michelle, I just did a search to see where I mentioned Marc Andreesen and no where can I find that I ever mentioned his name! So, you want to tell me where I implicated Marc Andreesen as a thug! Oh, and be specific! And don't tell me you saw that on Ally McBeal! What happened to your web page? Instead of you web page and BMW information, you changed it to reading books on history and current events. What happened to your TV?
