Barry Hussein Obama today became the earliest Presidential candidate ever to be placed under Secret Service protection. Michael Chertoff authorized it himself, as he's a fan of grim foreshadowing, and recently saw Bobby.

John Edwards has elected to spend a couple thousand dollars of campaign cash on impeccably-groomed occasional male models to serve as his security staff.
