News Good Morning, News!

Leaders attending the G-20 Summit on winning the war against the recession: "YES, WE CAN!" (Hmmm… wonder where they picked that one up?)

Cor Blimey, guv'nah! The bleedin' first lady went and actually touched the Queen! Pip! Pip! Tuppence for the birds! That'll put some lumps in me custard!

The Dow jumps over 8,000 for the first time in two months; Mitt Romney is forced to admit that Obama can't be wrong "ALL of the time."

Republican Newt Gingrich threatens to form a third party; one that embraces Twittering. Or in his case, Twattering.

The House gives the okay for the FDA to regulate tobacco products. What about the plan to develop "bubble gum flavored" Newports?

According to reports, "Clay Aiken is a spectacular father." I would go so far as to say he's FABULOUS!

A not so fabulous father? THIS GUY who brought his daughter along to rob a convenience store. (Maybe it was "bring your daughter to work" day?)

And finally, for no other reason than it's HILARIOUS, here are some selected scenes from the greatest film of any generation, 1985's BIOHAZARD!

I think the Queen touched Michelle Obama first. Who can blame her? I'm developing a serious crush on the first lady. I may even be getting an arm fetish.

My pick for the all time worst movie I have seen is Black Dog, although you may have to be a truckdriver to appreciate just how bad the movie is.
