Highlights and lowlights...

• The "big three" Detroit automakers beg for federal aid (so they can continue making gas guzzlers shoddily put together by grossly overpaid members of the UAW...)
• Clinton ("Hill" for some...) for the Secretary of State..?
• The Somali pirates have hijacked a big boat with approximately half of the Saudi's daily crude oil output... Hey guys, this is 21st century, the three-letter agencies can read the washing instructions tag inside your underwear from space and we still have pirates able to seize a really fucking big boat?!
• Henry M. Paulson (the Treasury Secretary) has been trying hard to explain why he's abandoned the original "bailout" plan, why he doesn't want to help the individual homeowners and the automakers. Lots of questions - zero answers...
