Here’s the Wrap:

• President Bush will be giving the final State of the Union of his administration. “It’s not necessarily dead, but deaf,” says astronomer Jonathan McDowell. Wait … he wasn’t talking about the White House. There’s a U.S. spy satellite crashing to Earth. Gee, hard to see how we could have gotten those mixed up.

• Rudy Giuliani tells Floridians he’s endorsed by nobody.They’ll certainly prove that point tomorrow.

• New home sales fell 26 percent, the sharpest drop in recent history. Look out for the “Buy One, Get One Free” deal coming to a crumbling market near you.

• A former Goose Creek security guard impersonates a police officer. And here we thought that was their job.

• Clay Aiken says he’s not Justin Timberlake. Honey, you ain’t kidding.
