"Barack Obama said his differences with Hillary Clinton are, 'infinitesimal, tiny, minute, trivial and inconsequential.' That's what he said, yeah. When he heard this, President Bush said, 'That guy knows way too many words to be president.'" --Conan O'Brien

"You know,
I'll tell you, things are not good. The price of oil doubled in less than a
year. Home foreclosures are at a record high. Unemployment is surging. But

will get better." --Jay Leno
What Do Cuba, China and Florida Have In Common?
With gas
topping $4 a gallon, some Republicans are pointing to Cuba once again to bolster
their case that the U.S. should be drilling along Florida's coastline.
The claim: China has Cuban leases to drill for oil -- miles from the Florida
shore.
Even Vice President Dick Cheney got into the mix Wednesday, telling the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce that
``oil is being
drilled right now 60 miles off the coast of Florida. We're not doing it. The

We're Still Not Taking Care Of Our Veterans
Jack Alderson
was ordered never to talk about the secret weapons tests he helped conduct in
the Pacific during the 1960s. He kept quiet for decades.
Sparse attendance at a 1993 reunion prompted Alderson, a retired Navy Reserve
lieutenant commander, to speak out. He learned that more than half of the 500 or
so crew members who took part in the tests were either dead or suffering from
cancer, respiratory problems or other ailments.
Alderson wondered whether his own skin cancers, allergies and chronic fatigue
were linked to those tests or were simply the result of aging.
