What Do Cats Have To Remember?

Manny Ramirez has been on a hitting tear since being traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Los Angeles Dodgers. L.A. fans have been flocking to see “The Dark Knight” so they’re prepared for when Manny goes weird on them.

The $14 million photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's weeks-old twins, Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, are on the cover of People magazine. Meanwhile, the New Yorker is contemplating a satirical cartoon of the twins dressed like Mom and Dad in “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” fighting over the money.

Paris Hilton's mother says John McCain’s campaign ad mocking Democrat Barack Obama with images of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears was a waste of the country’s time and money. She thinks it would have been better spent on a series of town hall meetings with McCain and his staff staying at Hilton hotels.

An animal expert at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has released a CD called “Frog Calls of Nebraska” featuring the rhythmic croakings of the state's native frogs. People who have heard it want him to follow it up with the sounds of Nebraska’s frogs sizzling on a grill.

British celebrity chef Anthony Worrall Thompson says he's sorry for mistakenly recommending henbane - a plant that can cause hallucinations, drowsiness and disorientation - as a salad ingredient. It’s too late. A Hollywood studio is already turning it into a movie called “Harold And Fumar Go Vegetarian.”

Former President Bill Clinton insisted in an interview that he “never made a racist comment” about Barack Obama. He knows it kill would all of his chances of ever hitting on Michelle Obama.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain attended the annual giant motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, where one of the highlights is women riding around with their tops off. This is part of McCain’s efforts to prove to voters that his heart is strong enough to withstand any kind of shock.

Researchers in England say a million forgetful cats in Britain may actually have mental health problem similar to Alzheimer's disease. Big deal. Outside of the location of the litter box, what do cats have to remember?

President Bush has mixed feelings about the death of Russian author Alexander Solzhenitsyn. He’s sorry to see the passing of a literary giant, but it also means he has one less Russian name to remember.

In a reversal of his previous position, Barack Obama is proposing the government sell 70 million barrels of oil from its strategic petroleum stockpiles. Since it involves oil, this is not a flip-flop - it’s more like a slick-flop.

President Bush has some concerns about his trip to Beijing for the Summer Olympics. He’s calling it a diplomatic trip so it doesn’t count against his annual summer vacation days.
