Week in the News

It is hard to know where to start this week. There's crusading Eliot Spitzer, grim-faced wife at his side, falling spectacularly into the maw of high-priced prostitution allegations.

Former VP candidate Geraldine Ferraro, angry and out of the Clinton campaign after tagging Obama with the race card. And an Obama win in Mississippi, with race all over it.

We've got record oil prices, again. Stocks wildly up and down. More economic shudders, Centcom's chief out, and a spike in deaths in Iraq.
