TITLE: "Where's Warren?" A take on the popular children's puzzle, "Where's Waldo?" Not, I know, a knee slapper, but I watched court proceedings ALL DAY LONG!

"Recount Results"Click here to see the latest recount news." There is a new section where you can check out what Florida newspapers, other National newspapers and even Foreign newspapers are covering.

"�accepted those laurels with hearty handshakes �" a perfectly ridiculous pun stolen fair and square from Mel Brooks' film "Blazing Saddles." In the movie the town elders, when the new sheriff (Cleavon Little) rides in, offers up a wreath with the words, "This laurel and hearty welcome."
