Santorum has problems besides Abramoff

Bill Clinton Strikes Back at Fox News

The Republicans hounded him everyday about his private life, accused him of wagging the dog every move he made, yet he still managed to get more done than President Vacation has with a congressional chorus line. The same Republicans that kept his hands tied, blame him for not doing more.

Widow Rented Rotary Phone for 42 Years

A widow rented a rotary dial telephone for 42 years, paying what her family calculates as more than $14,000 for a now outdated phone.

Ester Strogen, 82, of Canton, first leased two black rotary phones — the kind whose round dial is moved manually with your finger — in the 1960s. Back then, the technology was new and owning telephones was unaffordable for most people.

Until two months ago, Strogen was still paying AT&T to use the phones — $29.10 a month. Strogen's granddaughters, Melissa Howell and Barb Gordon, ended the arrangement when they discovered the bills.
