Rudy Giuliani: Up Then Down But Not Out
Rudolph 'n' Bernard: friends 4 ever?
Aventura, FL -- New York City's former mayor Rudy Giuliani reassured Miami-Dade County supporters on Sunday that he was "revved up", "still in the race", and "racing to win." Despite Mr. Giuliani's feisty defiance ahead of Florida's Jan. 29 primary election, emerging signs suggest the 2008 presidential campaign's early but now fading frontrunner is almost out of time, funding, and fresh metaphors.
"It's not over yet," the charismatic and sometimes-philandering candidate told a small but enthusiastic crowd outside a Denny's restaurant in northeastern suburban Miami. "I haven't even started. Yes, other candidates have started, but not me. Why? Because my experience handling the aftermath of 9/11 means I can protect this country from terrorism, that's why."

benchmark of blackness
In June 2006, Howards, a 55-year-old environmental consultant, was taking his 8-year-old son to a piano lesson last June when he saw Dick Cheney. Howards approached the Vice President, got within two feet of him and calmly said, “I think your policies in Iraq are reprehensible.” Howards then reportedly patted Cheney on the shoulder as he walked away.

Sen. John McCain Angered By Win, Would Rather Strangle Foes
Sometimes in politics you have feelings that are hard to talk about
Concord, NH -- Senator John McCain (R-AZ) acknowledged his New Hampshire Republican primary election triumph by warning rivals that victory was not enough. Although other candidates have run campaigns founded on "new ideas" or "change", the senior Senator from Arizona renewed his commitment to a "platform of crankiness".
"I will admit winning here in The Granite State feels okay," Senator McCain said in an acceptance speech to about five hundred enthusiastic supporters in Concord, "but punching the beejeezus out of my opponents, or maybe choking them, would be even better."

Chavez: Camilla "not as attractive" as Diana
Mr Chavez, who recently lost a referendum that would have allowed him to remain president for life, also picked out his friend Fidel Castro, the Cuban president, as the best-dressed world leader.
"His uniform is impeccable. His boots are polished, his beard is elegant," he said.
Asked if he would be prepared to pose topless like President Vladimir Putin of Russian, Mr Chavez joked: "Why not? Touch my muscles!"

Benazir Bhutto killed by Pakistani secret laser weapon system
The conspiracy theorists have dug in further. Benazir Bhutto was attacked [by] Pakistani militia from various directions. But the one that guaranteed her assassination is the new arsenal that Pakistani ISI obtained for attacking Indian installations secretly from Europe. It is a laser based pin pointed weapon system that can pierce through the skull and the bones and cause death instantaneously.

Mike Huckabee Goes Negative And Positive
Huckabee (on left) and Romney (on right). Romney is the one without the beard.
Des Moines, IA -- In the latest twist to his impressively Chaplin-esque primary election race, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee stunned reporters by declaring rival Mitt Romney a liar and a wife-beater.
"He says he quit beating his wife," the feisty candidate said in Des Moines Monday, "but if he's a liar, how can we believe him?"
