Obama: Friend of the Gays? During his campaign, Obama said he would fight hard for rights of gay couples. Now he better pony up with insurance for partners of federal employees.

High speed rail in California! In, uh, 50 to 100 years...

"Long March" in Pakistan: Thousands of Pakistanis march to Islamabad to protest the "anti-populist" president.

No More Secret Swiss Bank Accounts: The decadent home of chocolate, knives, St. Bernards and the set of every spy film since 1957 agrees to help catch international tax evaders.

Chinese Worried About U.S. Investments: The Chinese Premier lectures the U.S. about its trillion dollar deficit. Maybe he should just take China's cash money to Switzerland, then, jerk! Wait, I take it back, please stay.

Republican Chair Michael Steele Raises $200,000 in PDX: And also takes time to clarify that by "women have the right to choose abortion" he really meant "we should overturn Roe v. Wade." Phew!

"We want to build something that will last 50 or 100 years."

Not quite the same as saying they want to build something in 50 to 100 years.

Yeah. Like Josh there said. If you actually read the story, they want to make something that will not be obsolete in 50 to 100 years. Stay on the ball, space cadet! ; D

Stewart nailed it and nailed him. Mad Money may be a well-watched program, but hopefully people saw Jim Cramer in a whole new light.

Jon Stewart FTW! I hardly felt uncomfortable. I felt really good seeing him make the cheerleader for the pyramid scheme society squirm.
