They finally realized that their household was out of control, and that they needed to bring in someone who could do something about it.So they called Nanny 911.

PARIS, France (AP) -- Was North Korea's nuclear device a partial dud?That is one of several theories that Western experts say might explain the apparent low explosive force of the communist nation's first declared nuclear test.Other suppositions are that North Korea deliberately chose a small device to save its limited stocks of bomb-making plutonium or that it somehow muffled the shockwaves from

There are only two real possibilities for what happened in North Korea. Either this was not a nuclear device at all, but a blast generated through conventional explosives, or it was a nuclear test gone wrong -- "a fizzle."It was a fake, or a failure.How could it have failed?If the device was a fake -- just a lump of TNT or C4 playing a role -- we should know when we get the results of planes "

In an attempt to change the terms of the debate over the Mark Foley scandal, President George W.

The Republican Party has gone to such lengths to demonize homosexuality that it must pain the leadership to reveal that such a thing as a gay Republican congressman could even exist.
