GARY COLEMAN ANNOUNCES HE WILL NOT SEEK WHITE HOUSE

Gary Coleman announced at a news conference today that due to scheduling conflicts, he won’t be running for the presidency in 2008. “If I hadn’t agreed to appear on ‘Skating with the Stars’, I would have put all my energy into turning this country around,” the diminutive actor said. "But instead, I'll be working on my half axel, quarter toe loop and five/eighths Lutz."
