The Boring Institute has allowed Insight an exclusive advance peek at its forthcoming list of the "Most Boring Celebrities of 1999." With a tip of the hat to Boring Institute founder Alan Caruba, we pass the list along with his comments.

1. Hillary Clinton: listening tour? Listen to this: Go away! 2. Don Imus: too nice; too boring; too often 3. Vice President Al Gore and Bill Bradley: the Battle of the Bores! 4. Gov. Jesse Ventura: Minnesota's revenge on itself and the rest of us. 5. Steve Forbes: his campaign motto -- "I'm rich; elect me." 6. Women's Soccer: It will never be as popular as nude mud-wrestling. 7. Tina Brown: enough Talk! Just another boring celebrity magazine. 8. JonBenet Ramsey: Rest in peace, little one -- if anyone will let you. Mom and Dad, of course, have written a book. 9. Y2K: Forget about it! 10. The weather: front-page news no matter what's happening. It's just the weather!

And there you have it, folks. To express your agreement, disagreement or just to see what other nuttiness Caruba is up to, check out www.boringinstitute.com.
