That's an order
"We've been looking forward to spending some time this morning -- at ease. Please, everybody, you can sit down."

Boston beanbags
Democrats are taking more than verbal aim at Republicans during the Democratic National Convention in Boston.
Take Sen. Jon Corzine of New Jersey.
Jody Franklin, who was Hillary Rodham Clinton's chief of staff during the 1992 presidential campaign, says she was in the audience when Mr. Corzine addressed a union breakfast coinciding with the convention. Surrounding him were artfully placed full-size cutouts of President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
"After his remarks, Senator Corzine was offered a few bean bags," she reveals. "Without missing a beat, he threw a pitch, hit Cheney on the chin and knocked him over to a cheering crowd."
