Vice President Cheney criticizes Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, says people of Peru deserve better. No response from Chavez, but president of Peru says people of United States deserve better as vice president.

King of Spain tells Chavez to shut up during international conference. People of Peru not offended.

Cheney observes Veterans' Day by placing wreath at Tomb of Unknown Soldier -- since there's no monument to draft deferments.

President Bush meets at ranch with German Chancellor Angela Merkel (no neck massage reported) and French President Sarkozy. OK, so Germany and France were right on Iraq, but maybe he can talk them into attacking Iran.

In CNN/Opinion Research poll, 23 percent think Bush worst president in history. He's considered best president ever by one percent. Any way to find out who that one percent is so they can be disenfranchised?

Conservative news website/magazine Newsmax gives Condoleezza Rice a grade of C Minus as Secretary of State. Pretty generous.

The Bee movie released with voice of Jerry Seinfeld featured. More of a C movie than a B movie.

Emergency rule declared in Pakistan. General Musharraf stages coup against President Musharraf.

From the campaign trail: Dennis Kucinich says during debate he's seen an UFO. Any different from a president who talks to God?

Pat Robertson endorses Rudy Giuliani. Sees him as evil of two or more lessers. But when he hears them referred to as "strange bedfellows," he may withdraw endorsement.

Sen. Joe Biden says there are only three things in a Giuliani sentence: A noun, a verb and 9/11. Giuliani says not so, he's moved on to 9/12.

Cartoonist Mike Luckovich claims Fred Thompson has not spoken since TV writers went on strike.

Aides of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg say he'd be willing to spend a billion dollars on presidential campaign. But it still won't make him tall enough.

Georgia Governor organizes massive prayer service to pray for rain during drought. If that doesn't work, he'll ask local Indian tribes to do massive rain dance.

FEMA holds "news conference" on California fires...with questions asked by FEMA staffers. FEMA has met the enemy -- and it is them. Bush trying to figure out how to get away with that at the White House.

Staffers for Hillary Clinton plant questions with audience in Iowa. Who do they think they are, FEMA?

Donald Trump said to be interested in buying Chicago Cubs. But only if National League allows him to re-name them the Chicago Trumps.

Alex Rodriguez, aka A-Rod but A-Dud in the post-season, opts out of NY Yankees contract, becomes free agent asking for long-term $350 million contract. Wonder what Willie Mays is thinking.

Is that true?! If yes, he's been hanging around Bush too long! It's rubbing off on him! Hilarious.

Bush has no need to institute FEMA-type news conferences at the White House. The bunch of fawning sycophants (except Helen Thomas) that constitute the White House Press Corps play the part of friendly employees just fine.
