Lock your doors, hide your pets, and hold your kids up high. There's an epidemic in Florida. Hot on the heels of a 6 ft alligator being half eaten by a 13 ft python, a 12 ft Burmese python had a 1-year-old pet Siamese cat for breakfast.

And Harriet Miers: Conservative or Libertarian? In her bid for city council, Miers filled out a questionnaire saying she favored equal rights for gays and supported AIDS education. However, during her run as a Texas lawyer, she tried to get the ABA to vote in favor of abortion rights. She believes in the rights of women yet also believes in the right to bear arms. Not only that but many conservatives are not happy at all with her as a choice for a judicial nominee.
