News Good Morning, News!!

20 PROBES OF BAILOUT UNDER WAY!!! Issues include possible public corruption; corporate, stock and tax fraud; insider trading; and mortgage fraud.
JOINT APPEARANCE!!! In Toronto next month:
CONFESSIONS OF A BAILOUT CEO'S WIFE!!! It's all about "balancing the need to look like your world hasn’t crumbled beneath you—let’s not alarm the investors!—with the need to appear duly repentant for your subprime sins." "I get it that I may not win much sympathy," she continues. "Why should I?"
$50 MILLION DISCOUNT!!! On Leona Helmsley's house.
MATT DRUDGE GAY??? Why else has the man who exposed the Monica Lewinsky scandal turned into Howard Hughes?
COWELL QUITTING IDOL??? Or simply negotiating for a salary increase in the public eye?
TOP OF THE POTS!!! The Sun has photos of all the chubby rock stars...Ricky Gervais' youth shot could not more evoke the phrase "cocaine makes you thinner."
39TH IT IS!!! The Chavez historian panel finds 39th avenue, not Grand or Broadway, appropriate to rename after Cesar Chavez. Cue Laurelhurst meltdown and hopefully, some self-immolation.
ADAMS WANTS TO USE INTERSTATE MONEY TO FUND ROSE QUARTER DEAL!!! Neighbors are skeptical.
MEMORIAL COLISEUM SAFE!!! At least, we think that's what Adams means by waiting another week to vote on the proposal. Check Blogtown for updates!
Good day.

Much better idea. I believe he should be honored in some way but renaming a numbered street is not one of them.
