But in the meantime, the random world as we know it this morning: Vladimir Putin tries satellite navigation--on his black lab..

In the meantime, Oliver Stone's "W" doing very well at weekend box office, pulling in cash from viewers age 35 and older.. Does he mean DELIVERANCE!? McCain's aide says he is strong in "real Virginia" Biden to Democrats: Don't be too confident.. This word of warning comes amid news that Barack Obama is preparing his Cabinet!
