Important stories buried by the press conference tonight

US forces to withdraw (in part) from DMZ

That might count as news.

How about the fact that the Bushes paid over 225K in taxes (though JFK cannot claim to be a prole either) on an estimated 822K in shared assets. But even stranger--the Cheney's have 1.3 million in gross income but only paid 253K. They paid ~26,000 more despite having 477,000 more in income...strange. Now I honestly admit that I don't understand the tax code, not even a little bit. So maybe that's exactly how things should work, but it sure seems strange that Cheney was taxed 5% on those last 477,000 dollars.
