September 24, 2002 White House: Tranquilizers Not Used on Rumsfeld WASHINGTON (DPI) - White House officials are denying they shot tranquilizer darts into Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld to protect Congress from him on Wednesday. "There is no truth to the rumor that Secretary Rumsfeld was advancing on Congress to 'rip the Armed Services Committee a new one' if they didn't speed up their vote on military use against Iraq," said administration aide Melanie Baustista. "We shot the secretary because he was suffering from a headache, and it has long been on record he prefers to receive his aspirin in this fashion."

(DPI) - In a public statement Saturday, the woman universally recognized as a monster after a surveillance camera caught her beating her 4-year-old daughter insisted she's "no monster." Madelyne Gorman Toogood, 26, said, "I'm really more of a devil or, you might say, a stupid dumbass moronic pinhead. If I wasn't so goddamn stupid, I wouldn't have dyed my hair so that people wouldn't recognize me while I hid for over a week before turning myself in so I didn't get, you know, arrested or jailed or anything." Toogood hopes to make it up to her daughter with ice cream, stuffed animals and less frequent beatings.

"Our guys are on the case and we feel we're nearing a breakthrough," he said. According to Ridge, Al-Qaeda's next attack will involve driving Cool Whip-laden go-carts into a Chuck E. Cheese pizza parlor in Paramus, N.J. "We just have to figure out the exact date -- and we're pretty sure we'll have that when we crack a few scattered phrases like 'ying- flay essons-lay,' 'uilding-bay,' 'icago-Chay' and 'in-Laden-Bay'."

(DPI) - While living in small-town America has endeared rock musician John Mellencamp to millions of rural fans, it's no picnic for his two kids, Todd and Tiffany Mellencamp.

"We're the only house on the block that doesn't have hubcap wind chimes. We can't even get cable." Added 15-year-old Tiffany, "It's not like Dad really lives here anyways. Most of the time, he's off with Willie Nelson at some Farm-Aid benefit."

"As they are considered the most common fruits, one would think that at some level a comparison could be made," said researcher Jonathan Kolvain. Instead, he said, the apple acts as anti-matter to the orange, opposite right down to levels which can not be measured. "In fact, once subatomic science progresses, these haphazard apple-and-orange comparisons could move from the silly to the destruction of the universe itself."
