  1. Dick
    Dick was a unanimous All-American, playing center and linebacker, and repeated as an All-American in 1964. Despite not carrying the ball, he was a top contender in the Heisman Trophy balloting both years, finishing sixth in 1963, and third in 1964. His jersey number, 50, was one of only two ever retired by the University of Illinois, the other being 77, worn by the legendary Harold “Red” Grange. Eventually, Dick would be named to the College Football Hall of Fame (1983). He is generally considered one of the greatest college football players of all time.
  2. Halliburton -- Halliburton Ceo
    David Wilson, a convoy commander for Halliburton, and James Warren, a Halliburton truck driver, testified that brand new $85,000 Halliburton trucks were abandoned or "torched" if they got a flat tire or experienced minor mechanical problems. Mr. Warren brought these and other concerns to the personal attention of Randy Harl, the president and CEO of KBR. He was fired a few weeks later. ( 17 )
  3. President Bush -- People
    Noting that Vice President Dick Cheney was not in attendance, Bush said: "He's had a rough few weeks. To be honest, his feelings were kind of hurt. He said he was going on vacation to Afghanistan where people like him."
  4. Alec Baldwin -- Career
    Alec Baldwin's career began in TV, soap operas, small one time parts in drama series. It was his characterization of a psychotic, religious nut, the boyfriend of Lisa Hartman Black in "Knots Landing" that put him in the public eye.
  5. Dresser -- Companies
    In 1998, Dresser merged with its main rival Halliburton and is now known as Halliburton Company. Dick Cheney negotiated the US$7.7 billion deal, reportedly having done so during a weekend of quail-hunting. In 2001, Halliburton was forced to settle the asbestos lawsuits that it acquired as a result of purchasing Dresser, causing the company's stock price to fall by eighty percent in just over a year.
  6. Macedonia -- Rebels
    Macedonia urgently requires foreign help in training its security forces to winkle the rebel National Liberation Army out of the villages it holds. If a deal is struck whereby the guerrillas lay down their arms in return for greater recognition of ethnic Albanian rights in the constitution, Nato troops will be needed to ensure they fulfil their commitment.
  7. Carrot Top -- Las Vegas
    Carrot Top does a very topical, current, and thoroughly entertaining show (admittedly with a wide assortment of dildos thrown in). The price is very reasonable too. Dollar for Dollar, it is currently the best show in Vegas, IMHO. He even does some quite intellectual humor … evidenced by the fact that half of the audience didn’t get them … “Hey Maw, what is that ‘Dick Cheney’ thing that orange haired feller just mentioned?”
  8. Britney Spears -- Parties
    Britney Spears poses with her best-selling fragrance Fantasy, at a party Elizabeth Arden threw for her at the Hudson Hotel on Monday. Her three fragrances, Curious, Fantasy, and In Control, have together sold over 10 million bottles worldwide.
  9. Representative Tom Tancredo -- Congressman John
    Congressman John D. Dingell (MI-15), the Dean of the House of Representatives, condemned the recent comments made by Representative Tom Tancredo (CO-06) as “ignorant” and “inexcusable” for a Member of Congress. During a recent interview on Tampa radio station WFLA-AM, Mr. Tancredo said that the US might “take out (Muslim) holy sites” in response to another terrorist attack on the US. When asked if he meant Mecca, Congressman Tancredo responded “yeah.”
  10. Impeachment -- Articles of Impeachment
    Impeachment originated in England, where the House of Commons would present articles of impeachment to the House of Lords, which then tried the case. A well-known instance was the impeachment and trial (1786–95) of Warren Hastings, first governor general of India.
