Mark Foley
With only 3 weeks for the midterm elections, the GOP finally got the Foley scandal off the front pages. Unfortunately Foley is now on the back of a page.

After the Foley scandal several conservatives wrote books to prove they are still the party of moral values, but to avoid problems with pages, they are only releasing audio books.

Libya is buying laptop computers for all 1.2 million of their schoolchildren. Mark Foley has been seen in rehab with a book of "Arabic for Dummies."

Democrats
During a TV interview, President Bush said that Democrats criticize everything and, when it comes to his administration, Democrats always see the glass half empty… Especially the Kennedy’s.

GOP strategy
Rhode Island will vote to allow felons to have the right to vote when they leave prison. Apparently Republicans want to guarantee their success in the 2012 elections.

With the midterm elections around the corner, Republican strategists decided to pull the money out of places where they are losing, and invest it where they still have chances to win. If they are going to pull the money out of places with no chances to win, shouldn’t they stop using the money in Iraq then?

Steve Lyons
Baseball announcer Steve Lyons was fired by Fox Sports for racially insensitive comments he made during a game when he suggested Lou Piniella might want to steal his wallet because he had Latino heritage. He should not worry anymore, now that he was fired; neither Latinos nor anybody else cares about his wallet.

300 million
The US population will hit the historic milestone of 300 million Tuesday. This is seen as an accomplishment by the Bush administration, because if more people live in this country we can, in the future, divide the huge fiscal deficit in more parts.
