Woods Met With Troopers 5 Days After Accident
By not in system - AOL News(Dec. 31) -- After three failed efforts by troopers to meet with him in the aftermath of his Nov. 27 auto accident, golfer Tiger Woods met with the Florida Highway Patrol five days later -- after they'd closed the case and decided to cite him for careless driving.

2009's Top 10 Scandals
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Dec. 28) -- Corrupt politicians, cheaters, hypocrites, creeps, con artists and publicity hounds. That reads like any other year's roster of people behaving badly.

Other than a few attempts by journalists to get Chelsea Clinton's take on the matter, and passing references to it in regards to Bob Barr's run for President, because Barr helped lead the Clinton impeachment effort, it's as if the whole ordeal never occurred. Politico's Jeanne Cummings points out that during the long primary season both the Clinton campaign and the campaigns of her Democratic opponents completely embargoed the topic ...

Just 29% of Americans say they paid very close attention to news about the presidential campaign last week, the lowest percentage recorded since December 2007.
