1.CALM RETURNS TO MARKETS!!! The Dow is up 235 points as of writing this, and Bush is urging congress to pass a second bailout plan.

2.PALIN PALING OUT!!! "I think she has pretty thoroughly - and probably irretrievably - proven that she is not up to the job of being president of the United States," David Frum, a former speechwriter for President Bush who is now a conservative columnist, said in an interview.

3.STAMPEDE!!! Kills more than 100 in India.

4.MAN SAVES DOG FROM SHARK ATTACK!!! Diving in to save his 14-pound rat terrier with a punch.

5.HEATH'S LEDG-ACY STALLING!!! The life insurance company has launched an independent investigation into his death, and is yet to pay out on its $10m. "Accident" indeed.

6."GOTCHA JOURNALISM." As in, when somebody does something stupid, and the media questions it. That's what Palin and McCain are accusing the media of, now:

Good day.
