      Berlusconi Calls Rival an Obama Copycat

They prescribe ridiculing the onetime Roman mayor for "systemically" copying Obama's speeches. More »

      Saucy Texts Could Sink Detroit Mayor

      (Newser) - Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's continuing administration looks doubtful after the emergence of over 14,000 racy text messages between him and his chief of staff.
