That good kind o' tired
Have you ever heard somebody mention "that good kind o' tired"? That's the stuff life's made of, right there. You know, the kind of fatigue you get from working all day in the heat, doing manual labor. You don't get that good kind o' tired from sitting at a computer, staring at a monitor or from answering phones. No.... The tired most of us have is the bad kind o' tired. It's brain fatigue, and it makes us frothy short-tempered and frustrated. But, when you come in from a day in the fields, Brother, you may be tired as hell, but the idea of hugging your kid or talking to your wife seems special.

FROM THE RIGHT
Rush Limbaugh says that Bill Clinton is to blame for the rash of pre-teen oral sex that's pervading the world.

"Oprah had a bunch of 12-to-16-year-old kids on her show, and they talked about how casually they engage in oral sex - and about how they learned from Bill Clinton that it's not "really" sex. Some of the boys said they don't even have to ask for oral sex in middle school; girls just offer it. They talked about "trains," which has nothing to do with the Little Engine That Could."

The world's oldest Companies
“Companies come and companies go,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill remarked when the Enron scandal broke last winter. For Secretary O’Neill and everyone else who subcribes to that presumption, the following list should come as a revelation. These companies—the world's 100 oldest continuously family-owned firms—have outlasted governments, nations, cities and certainly once-mighty corporations like Enron. Indeed, a common thread among most of them seems to be their manageable size. “Some of the oldest businesses,” the English business historians Henry G. Button and Andrew P. Lampert have noted, “are relatively small undertakings.”

X-Ray Vision Needed to Find Black Superheroes

THINK of comic book heroes, and perhaps you conjure thoughts of Superman flying over Metropolis or Batman and Robin speeding out of their cave. And of course, Hollywood investors and comic book enthusiasts likely have Spider-Man on their minds this weekend, as the web-slinger hits the big screen.

But as the media world focuses on Peter Parker, the fictional photojournalist-cum-superhero created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, lesser-known artists and writers have unveiled a new hero unlike any of the others who have recently made it big.

What he does not have, however, is white skin.

The WitchDoctor (a k a Dr. Jovan Carrington), uses voodoo lore and supernatural vision to uncover his African ancestry, confront racial stereotypes and, in his free time, come down hard on the bad guys
