http://fishindex.blogspot.com/search/label/Salt%20Water%20Fish; From the page: The Angler Fish has a few strange traits including that fact that a male Angler Fish will literally bite into the female and then over time will physically fuse to the female. They share bloodstreams and the male loses his eyes and all his organs except the reproductive ones! A female Angler Fish can carry more than 6 males on her body at once!"

The "Dark Genius" of Fox News | Salon Books: Jun 17, 8:16pm 1 review politics, books, roger-ailes
http://www.salon.com/books/int/2008/06/17/ailes/; From the page: "When Richard Nixon ran for the presidency in 1968, eight years after his pasty, glowering visage in four televised debates with John Kennedy had, arguably, cost him the White House, he knew he needed a makeover. He hired a young producer from "The Mike Douglas Show" to repackage him for mass consumption. Roger Ailes sold Nixon to the American public, and became a sought-after Republican political consultant. Between 1968 and 1989, he advised everybody from Ronald Reagan to George H.W. Bush to Rudy Giuliani. Americans know Ailes best, however, as the founding father and guiding hand of the "fair and balanced" Fox News network, the favorite cable news source of conservatives and the b�te noir of liberals."
