BIG CHILL Bill Clinton plans to fulfill a lifelong dream by traveling to Antarctica this year, thus becoming the first President to visit the chilly continent. When we heard this, we called comedians for a Clinton-in-Antarctica joke.

This should not affect Bill Clinton because he has been living in a deep freeze in his bedroom in the White House for over a year now. --David Brenner

They don't get a lot of news in Antarctica. It's the only place where mothers will allow their daughters to be introduced to President Clinton. --Marc DeCarlo

Now that things are winding down for him, it's nice that he has time for things like ribbon-cutting ceremonies at Starbucks. --Lynn Harris
