Catching you up on everything important that happened while you were wasting away another perfectly good weekend watching Judge Judy reruns.
- AIG executives threaten to quit over reduced paychecks, imposed by the pay czar, saying they’d rather find new jobs than submit to the humiliation of decreased pay checks.. 15 million unemployed Americans say, “Uh, okay, good luck with that.”
- Debate rages over whether the media coverage of Tiger Woods’ car crash, and subsequent speculation of infidelity goes too far, with Tiger insisting that the saturation of coverage regarding his personal affairs crosses the line. Don’t worry Tiger, this will pass. The media (and public) has a short attention span. Remember that whole healthcare reform debate? Neither do we.
- On the climate change front, more fallout over leaked e-mails from researchers talking about fudging climate numbers to make the case for global warming. See, like conservative David Frum, I’ve always known this was some kind of academic conspiracy. Now, if we could only figure where these so-called “scientists” are hiding all the polar bears.
- Speaking of climate, huge winter storms are set to batter the U.S. this week, with wind chills in the Midwest and northern plains hitting 30 below, officially bringing about an end to Helena’s topless sun bathing season.
- Finally, it’s been 29 years since the murder of John Lennon on December 8, 1980. Fans honored the anniversary of his passing over the weekend by forgetting to honor the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, which took place the day previous.
