Pass the cheese, please

Dr. Frank Hammer of Arlington has been a Green Bay Packers fan since the days when the players wore leather helmets and fans passed a hat to pay the team's expenses. Of course, finding a hat was difficult in those days, as Green Bay fans had already taken to wearing blocks of Wisconsin Cheddar on their heads.

A real toe-tapper: Sen. Larry Craig, R-His Own Private Idaho, is continuing his court fight to withdraw his guilty plea for disorderly conduct, following his arrest in an airport men's room for soliciting sex from an undercover cop. Craig maintains that the statute requires that more than one person -- the cop -- be alarmed or angered by his actions.

All those alarmed or angered by Sen. Craig's actions, please tap your foot.

Will there be a seventh-inning stretch? When Pope Benedict XVI visits Washington, D.C., in April, he'll celebrate Mass at Nationals Park, where the city's MLB team will play this season.

The pope will address the crowd from center field, which will require that his Prada shoes be fitted with cleats.
