                          rhetoric heats up
 With 
                          just thirteen days to go before the election, rivals 
                          George W. Bush and John Kerry are ratcheting up their 
                          campaign rhetoric. "My opponent," said Bush 
                          at rally in New Mexico on Sunday, "is a weak-willed 
                          coward. What we in Texas would call a 'pansy'," 
                          while Kerry told voters in Ohio, "The president 
                          has completely fucked-over the middle class. He knows 
                          it, and he's laughing about it." Bush, in Pennsylvania 
                          announced this morning, 
                          "Look, you are either against the terrorists or 
                          you're with them. Do you really want to put a terrorist 
                          in the White House?" Kerry responded at a rally 
                          in Florida, "George W. Bush is an asshole, and 
                          everyone knows it. And he's smug about it, too. He's 
                          a smug asshole."

                          undergoes elective surgery
 Though 
                          not suffering from any life-threatening condition, nor 
                          looking to alter his cosmetic appearance, Rev. Smith 
                          spent the day in the hospital undergoing elective surgery. 
                          "I don't know, just open me up, shift some stuff 
                          around, sew me back up," said Smith to team of 
                          doctors, "I'm really just looking to get my money's 
                          worth here." Smith made his unusual request after 
                          discovering that his health care plan covers up to $16,000 
                          of medical surgery per year. "I'd feel sort of 
                          ripped off if I didn't use that money," said Smith, 
                          shortly before going under general anesthesia. Following 
                          his two-day recovery from the surgery, Smith also plans 
                          to review his dental and life insurance policies.

                          voting machines to work "as planned"
 In 
                          an attempt to assuage the growing fears of wide-scale 
                          election fraud from the use of electronic voting machines 
                          that provide no paper trail, staunch Bush supporter 
                          and CEO of Diebold Inc, Walden O'Dell, whose comapny's 
                          paperless voting machines will be used by more than 
                          8 million voters, made a statement today, assuring Americans 
                          that his company's machines will function "exactly 
                          as planned". "Any hackers hoping to tamper 
                          with these machines will be frustrated," announced 
                          O'Dell. "On Novermber 2nd, each machine will count 
                          every single vote exactly as it has been prgrammed to." 
                          O'Dell went on to say that his voting machines will 
                          function so flawlessly that he believes Bush will mandate 
                          their use at all polling stations by the end of his 
                          second term as president.
