I thought I'd steal a couple of jokes from my father-in-law. He used to write for Alan King, Milton Berle and Jonathan Winters, just to name a few. And all those Dean Martin Roasts, too: Don Rickles, Red Buttons, Phyllis Diller, Sammy Davis, Jr., etc. What a resume!

A tiny respite from all the frustrating events of the day:

Things are really getting tough for Bush as his popularity plummets. Today Vice President Cheney tried to distance himself from the President.

Ba-da-BING!

John Edwards is on the campaign trail with what he calls his "Poverty Tour." It's where he visits people who have no money and no hope. His first stop will be John McCain's headquarters.

That last one was for you, Cliffy.
