Every presidential election year Family Circle magazine runs a cookie recipe contest between the two possible First Ladies. The winner of the contest for the past four elections has gone on to be (or continued to be) the First Lady. This year, Cindy McCain's Oatmeal-Butterscotch cookies beat out Michelle Obama's shortbread cookies. A cookie contest for our First Lady? Archaic? Ridiculous? Well then, how 'bout a dance-off between the candidates themselves? This virtual throwdown between John McCain and Barack Obama should at least take your mind off the 1950s flashback with a little bit of crumpin...
...McCain: You're pretty good for a Democrat, but I don't believe you've heard my new campaign slogan: Crumpin' you can believe in. My friends...
Stay tuned for a special guest appearance by Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, but if the First Lady cookie contest offends, avoid the last few seconds of the video.

The current version, described by U.S. officials as a "final" draft, specifies that U.S. forces will withdraw from Iraq's cities "no later than June 30th, 2009", and from all Iraqi territory "no later than December 31st, 2011." There is certainly a provision for those dates to be subject to "review," but changing them would require agreement from both...
