What can I say? Jenna Bush is getting married - engaged, to be married before her father leaves office.

Can you imagine the wedding? An incumbent US President's daughter getting married!

What would that make them - the First Second Couple or the First 'Dauple'? What would the official term be?

What about you - what's your thinking on this?

What do you feel about this breaking announcement?

    SW: never, I believe - not bad for a social way to bow out from the Iraq war political mess, eh?

    Seriously though, it may just be scheduled in the Rose Garden.

    However, the feeling I'm getting - online comments and reactions generally - is that very few people give a hoot, especially because her future husband has not served in Iraq or Afghanistan, while others have enlisted.

    Some people are even inferring that Jenna may be pregnant! How about that for open disrespect?

A new dinosaur named Tatankacephalus cooneyorum, was recently unearthed in Montana. For me it's not a particularly exciting find. It's a rather standard addition to the anklosaur family, a group of armored dinoraurs with club like tails. It is surmise...
