YSL: NICE FURNITURE...

FREIDA PINTO!!! Will star in Woody Allen's new film.

MERRITT PAULSON IS NUTS!!! He writes an op-ed article in this morning's Oregonian, which doesn't seem to be on the paper's website yet, saying that investing more than $85m in major league soccer is "about far more than soccer or baseball." It's about "coming together, and building our economy and community," he writes.

MORE BAILOUT $$$!!! The government faces pressure to pour more cash into banks, automakers and insurance companies.

NORTH KOREAN SATELLITE!!! Hillary Clinton faces first challenge as secretary of state...

LEDGER'S LAST FILM!!! Is seeking a distributor...

Good day.

For clarification:

I love soccer. I also love responsible use of public money.

Hank III should probably have run that little gem by the PR firm prior to submitting it for publication, unless the repeated use of the royal "we" was intended to be ironic.
