      Stumping Hazardous to Health

      (Newser) - Even the presidential candidates who miss out on the White House will feel the effects of their campaigns for years to come.

Forbes takes on the low points: Sleep deprivation, leading to memory losses and risky decision-making. Poor diets, causing that waist to grow (Clinton favors ice cream; Obama, French fries). More »

      Huck Funny Where It Counts on SNL

      (Newser) - Ok, so he's not a math guy, but GOP presidential contender Mike Huckabee proved on Saturday Night Live that he can take a ribbing as well as anyone. “Weekend Update” host Seth Meyers pointed out to Huck that even if he wins every remaining delegate, the candidate would still fall 200 short, and a nomination would be a "mathematical impossibility."

      (Newser) - Janet Huckabee put on her least social conservative-friendly face last weekend, going to Las Vegas for a middleweight prizefight—and staying at the Hooters Casino Hotel.
