Guess Who Is In Gaza?

I think
everybody should just calm down. Give Obama four years. See what he can do. Then
if he’s a miserable failure, we’ll do what we did with George W. Bush and elect
him to a second term. - Craig Ferguson
Disturbing News
It's My Party And I'll Shoot Myself If I Want To
A handful of Republican
governors are considering turning down some money from the federal stimulus
package,
a move opponents say puts conservative ideology ahead of the needs of
constituents struggling with record foreclosures and soaring unemployment.
And, you know, you got to admit, President Obama gives great speeches. Like, today, instead of just saying, “Oh, from North to South,” he said, “From the windy plains of the Dakotas to the sunny skies of Arizona.” That sounds so much better than, “From the sleaze ball criminal element of Wall Street to the broke-a@# beaches of California.”- Jay Leno

FAA, NTSB feud over icing safety for turboprops
On Halloween 1994, an
American Eagle flight en route to Chicago in freezing rain went into a
high-speed dive and crashed near Roselawn, Ind., killing all 68 people
aboard...More than 12 years later, the recommendations linger on the NTSB's
"most wanted" list, testament to the board's inability to force action on safety
improvements
even when they are judged critical to saving lives.
"And there are a lot of new taxes coming. California state legislators want to solve our state's giant deficit b taxing marijuana. Meanwhile, Oregon wants to increase a tax on beer, while New York wants to tax Internet porn. You know what this means? By the end of spring break, this whole thing could be paid for." --Jay Leno

Burris' Burrs
Though Roland
Burris had some trouble being admitted to the U.S. Senate, he will not be easily
expelled now that he has arrived.
It takes a vote of two-thirds of the senators to oust a member, and
the last senators to be formally expelled were charged with supporting the
rebels during the Civil War.
"I tell you, the economy's in bad shape. It is in such bad shape that today, three stock brokers tried to kill themselves by eating peanuts." --Jay Leno

Fears Double In A Year
A new Associated Press poll
shows the troubled economy is alarming more and more people.
An AP-GfK poll released Wednesday found that people's fears about losing a job,
not being able to pay bills or watching retirement funds evaporate are growing.
Nearly half of those surveyed say they worry about becoming unemployed —
and that's almost double last year's number.
