Why does Senator Zell Miller still call himself a Democrat? What real Democrat would not only endorse Bush, but even speak at the GOP convention? I guess Bushists would think it's a great triumph to have a Democrat endorse Bush, but Zell surely doesn't count anymore.

Zell is also interesting because while he was governor, he had Beethoven for Babies distributed to all newborns in Georgia because research showed that it could increase spatial abilities. Problem? The one piece of research that showed this effect used college students as participants, and the effect on reasoning abilities lasted 15 minutes. LAaaame.
