Bored
with Florida, Bush & Gore Party Hearty!
By DAVID FIRESTONE
FROM SUNDAY'S TIMES
Gov. George W.
Bush's staff was desperately searching for the candidate
Sunday. Imagine their surprise when they found him "gettin'
down" with rival Al Gore, celebrating Cindy McCallister's
birthday en route to Yakima, WA. "It's about fun... and
it's about as far as you can get from Florida," said
Gore. "Gimme some cake," chimed in Bush. . Go to Article

News Analysis: Whoever Wins,
The Birthday's the Thing
By R. W. APPLE Jr.
FROM SUNDAY'S TIMES
Unless the partisan
fighting on both sides relents, these idiots are going to miss a
great party. Cindy's birthday, did you hear that: Cindy's
birthday! I know I'm supposed to be writing a serious political
column for the dang New York Times, but Sunday's Cindy's birthday,
for heaven's sake...

FROM SUNDAY'S TIMES
Of course they're
all crazy, counting ballots and the like. Who ever heard of
such a thing on Cindy's birthday. Anybody got a few bucks to
buy these guys a clue?
Political Memo: Spin the Battle: Ferocious Fight to Woo
Public
By RICHARD L. BERKE
FROM SUNDAY'S TIMES
Forget, for a
moment, the court wrangling and the disputed vote counts. Matter of
fact, forget it for the whole day. It's Cindy's birthday, and I know
there was some serious point to this, but I can't remember it now.
So put on a funny hat, get some really, really cool presents, and
give a shout out for Cindy's birthday!

(AP) President Clinton feels left out of the party, stuck in
Vietnam. "I find it ironic that here I am, President, stuck in
Vietnam on Cindy McCallister's birthday.. Heck, 25 years ago, I
would have done anthing to stay out of Vietnam, and now I choose to
go and end of missing a great birthday party. In the words of
the great Homer Simpson, 'Doh!'". Go to
