WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 — Declaring himself a proud conservative before a crowd of cheering supporters waving American flags, Senator Sam Brownback, Republican of Kansas, on Saturday announced his candidacy for president.-------------------------------------------------
Brownback? It could be worse. Good thing he's not Senator Wetback, from Texas. That would sink his campaign for sure.

L.A. man sues to take wife's last nameUpdated 1/12/2007 10:24 AM ET
By Martin Kasindorf, USA TODAY
LOS ANGELES — Michael Buday is petitioning a federal judge for the right to take Diana Bijon's last name in marriage as easily as she could take his last name.Bijon, 28, an emergency room nurse, asked her fiancé to change his last name to preserve her father's family name because there are no sons. Buday, 29, a technical manager at an advertising firm, promised he would.
"I had a rough childhood with my father," he says. "We never really got along. Diana's father stepped up, gave me career advice. He's family."--------------------------------------------------Anyone can change their name at any time, for any reason, providing it's not done to avoid possible prosecution and there is no intent to usurp or exploit another person's identity -- ie., renaming yourself Hillary Rodham Clinton or Justin Timberlake. No lawyer is needed, it doesn't cost a dime and there's no need to put a silly ad in the local paper announcing the name change.

Israel denies planning Iran nuke attack
1 hour, 53 minutes ago
A British newspaper reported Sunday that Israel has drafted plans to strike as many as three targets in Iran with low-yield nuclear weapons, aiming to halt Tehran's uranium enrichment program. The Israeli Foreign Ministry denied the report.
Citing multiple unidentified Israeli military sources, The Sunday Times said the proposals involved using so-called "bunker-buster" nuclear weapons to attack nuclear facilities at three sites south of the Iranian capital.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office said it would not respond to the claim. "We don't respond to publications in the Sunday Times," said Miri Eisin, Olmert's spokeswoman.
Israeli Minister of Strategic Threats Avigdor Lieberman also declined to comment on the report.--------------------------------------------------------Wait a minute - let's see if I've got this right. It's not okay for the bad guys to develop nuclear weopons, but it is okay for the good guys to use them.
