Bush's On-Air Bulge During Debate Draws Whispers
The Internet was abuzz with conspiracy theories over a very obvious bulge in the back of George W. Bush's suit jacket during the first US Presidential debate in Miami, Florida.

Cheney Directed People to Wrong Web Site
In Wednesday night's debate, Dick Cheney directed people to a web site to see the facts about his involvement when he was CEO of Halliburton. He made one slip though, he said go to FactCheck.com instead of FactCheck.org.
Consequently, the advertising site from the Cayman Islands, FactCheck.com crashed after people watching the debate tried to see it. The owners of the site redirected the traffic to the site of devoutly anti-Bush billionaire George Soros.

No Smoking For Prison Inmates
The famous California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has made another big move. This is the same guy who put a tent out in front of his state office so he could enjoy a good cigar.
He signed a bill today ending tobacco in the state prisons and youth correctional facilities. Violators are subject to fines. In 2003, the state made some $1 Million in tobacco taxes made from prisoners.
