CHINESE TAKEOUT
Hillary Clinton, former First Lady and potential Presidential candidate, is reprtedly upset that the government of China has censored parts of her book, Living History. Specifically, they removed passages in her book that were critical of China's abysmal human rights record. Also, Chinese censors translated the name "Monica Lewinsky" as "sweet and sour pork."

SUGGESTED CAMPAIGN STRATEGY
Over the last two weeks or so, President Bush's approval ratings have taken a serious dive. Americans' concerns over the rising cost of the occupation of Iraq and the sluggish economy here at home are blamed for the fall in his popularity. Democrats are now beginning to see Bush as being especially vulnerable on these issues in next year's Presidential race.
Hey, if Bush wants to insure his reelection, he should forget about terrorism and declare war on telemarketers.
Now THAT'S an issue that would insure his place in history.
