By David Knowles - Politics DailyIn terms of political scandals, this one seems pretty minor.

"Laura saw Barbara Boxer briefly on television today," Fiorina said, "and said what everyone says, God what is that hair. Soooo yesterday." Today, given the chance to step back from that remark, Fiorina declined. In an ...

By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyNatalee Holloway, the Alabama teen who disappeared five years ago during a vacation in Aruba, is again in the news.

Why Does Suspect Keep Talking in Holloway Case?
By David Lohr - AOL News(March 3) -- Investigators aren't paying much attention to a newly released confession by Joran van der Sloot, a longtime suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.
