Actual document: Kerry requests to go to Vietnam when he could have evaded combat as every top Bushie of that period did. awolbush.com

These documents also proved Bush went AWOL, dodged service, was grounded, skipped his mandatory drug test and that almost all records of his from 1972 were mysteriously cleansed from his file, the same year he was rumored to have been arrested for cocaine.

Fox News Offers Pope His Own Show
'The Pope Benedict XVI Factor' to Debut Next Week

In what many in religious and broadcasting circles are calling an unprecedented development, the Fox News Channel today announced that it had offered Pope Benedict XVI his own show as part of their weekly primetime lineup.

The program, which will be broadcast live from a specially built television studio in Vatican City, will be called "The Pope Benedict XVI Factor" and will feature the outspoken pontiff shooting from the hip on a variety of topics.

Fox, which is currently home to such conservative commentators as Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, surprised many in the television industry by reaching out to one of the world's most powerful religious leaders to host a nightly news program.

But according to Fox spokesperson Carol Foyler, the Pope's recent comments about Islam, which succeeded in alienating millions of Muslims around the world, showed that the pontiff and Fox were "a good fit."

"If Pope Benedict XVI can offend and insult that many people right out of the box, imagine how good he'll be after a few weeks of working here at Fox News," Ms. Foyler said.

Ms. Foyler said that the format of the Pope's show was still "a work in progress," but she hinted that there would be a nightly segment in which the Pope would take a gratuitous shot at one of the world's leading religious faiths.

"Our thinking is, let the Pope be the Pope," she said.

Elsewhere, a new study shows that vegetables such as broccoli, brussels sprouts and watercress can help kill cancer cells, while spinach can kill the entire person.
