    I have 2 unrelated questions. 1)Today I caught the end of Rush and a caller said he was so mad about the Chris Matthews article and was glad that Roger had discussed it. I cannot find this article. Even through Drudge I get an archive. Was it posted here? 2) Does anyone from Colorado know the politican, Joe Rogers?

    I hate to write this on a Sunday. Sunday sermons ought to be about the hope of salvation, followed by a good chicken dinner or a nice fat brunch at a high-cholesterol restaurant. Sunday is an upper and this column is a downer. I would have saved it for Tuesday, except in this business, beaking news just barges in and doesn't care what Sabbath laws it breaks. Two news stories plopped on my desk as the weekend began. They got stuck in my head and I can't get them out unless I write about them. They're certainly not stories celebrating ...

His tone would be angry, even a little snide, he now admits, the work of a prosecutor sure of the president's guilt. Yesterday, in a speech and interview at Ashland University, Schippers looked back on his experiences as chief investigative counsel on the impeachment probe. His tone was wistful and even a bit peeved, the work of a prosecutor who still can't believe his target got away. "The system as developed by the framers of the Constitution worked ...
