Kotex to Endorse Obama
Kotex parent-company Kimberly-Clark has announced that it will be endorsing Barack Obama in his bid to capture the 2008 Democratic nomination for president.
“We feel that Mr. Obama has the message that most resonates with these times, that of hope, change, freshness,” said a Kimberly-Clark spokeswoman. “We wholeheartedly endorse his candidacy, and will do all we can to insert him into the White House come November.”
In addition to a public endorsement, Kimberly-Clark plans on giving a generous campaign contribution to their preferred candidate and will host a New Orleans-style Ragtime-jazz benefit near their Dallas corporate headquarters later this month. A specially-imprinted Kotex feminine hygiene product will also hit the shelves next week.

Local Beverage Fells GOP Hopeful
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani was briefly held overnight in a Miami hospital on suspicion of orange juice poisoning.
“Mr. Giuliani was admitted at 10:15 last night with what our doctors have determined was a moderate case of citric toxicity,” said a spokesman for South Miami hospital. “He has since been treated and released, with our doctors’ advice that he refrain from further orange juice consumption, at least for the foreseeable future.”
This is the second food-related political scare this month. On January 2nd, Democratic hopeful John Edwards was briefly hospitalized in Iowa after suffering from a bout of cornitosis. He has since gone on to fully recover.

Next Battle Lines Drawn In Democratic Primary
The truce between the two top Democratic presidential contenders lasted barely 24 hours before the next skirmish broke out. And this time, the issue over which Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were squaring off even surprised seasoned politicos.
“We’re going to take her supporters, we’re going to take her friends, we’re going to take her family too. Yes, her family too!” Obama told a cheering crowd in Reno, Nev. “And we’re going to march, march till our tired feet are raised up by our soaring spirits, march till we’ve reached the pop-singer’s house, and we’re going to ring out as one: Change! Change! God almighty Britney, please change!”
Both Clinton and Obama have abandoned the racist smears and sexist swipes that have marked the past couple of weeks in favor of a safer battlefield from which to curry favor and capture votes: the shattered life of pop-wreck Britney Spears. But whereas Obama favors an intervention approach, Clinton’s plan is much more aggressive.

“Broad” Bounces Out of New Hampshire
Sixteen years ago the state of New Hampshire christened her husband the Comeback Kid. Tuesday night it was her time, and the Bounceback Broad could not have been more pleased.
“Barack Obama was handing this old girl her ass, and you changed all that!” Hillary Rodham Clinton told an enthusiastic crowd of supporters Wednesday morning as she prepared to board her bus, the Experience Express.
Clearly overcome with emotion but determined not to cry, again, she fidgeted with her victory tiara and collected her composure while Elton John’s The Bitch Is Back rocked the early morning crowd. Regaining control, she delivered the sound bite that may well become her campaign’s rallying cry in the days and weeks ahead.
