And according to “The Washington Post,” during his eight years in office, President Bush spent 2,496 hours on the treadmill, elliptical machine, and mountain bike. And spent another 15 minutes working on the economy.- Jay Leno
The Saudi
prince who owns a double-decker "flying palace" and recently raised his bet on
Citigroup
lost $4 billion in the past year, according to a published report Sunday,
showing that even the ultra-rich are getting pinched by the global financial
crisis.
"This is your farewell kiss, you dog!" Muntadar al-Zeidi, the reporter who threw two shoes at Bush, is a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned station based in Cairo, Egypt.

Twelve Years To Fix A Computer Glitch?
Surviving
spouses of war veterans have been wrongfully denied up to millions of dollars in
government benefits over the past 12 years due to computer glitches
that often resulted in money being seized from the elderly survivors' bank
accounts.
The Veterans Affairs Department said Saturday it wasn't fully aware of the
problem. It pledged to work quickly to give back the pension and disability
checks — ranging from $100 to more than $2,500 — that hundreds of thousands of
widows or widowers should have received during the month of their spouse's
death.
Two boys
approached a U.S. soldier, pulled out a pistol and handed it over. They got a
smile and some candy in return.
The gun was plastic, and the boys were following a local Iraqi military order
to surrender all toy weapons — an effort to prevent children from being
mistaken for insurgents.

OPEC
OPEC, the producer of 42
percent of the world’s oil, may make the biggest supply cut in a decade to halt
the plunge in crude prices as demand drops for the first time since 1983.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will probably lower output
targets by at least 2 million barrels a day, or 7.3 percent, when its members
meet Dec. 17, according to 18 of 33 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. While Saudi
Arabia’s King Abdullah said last month
that his country needs oil priced at $75 a barrel to spur development, Goldman
Sachs Group Inc. predicts crude may slide to $30 from $46.28 today.

York Times 18 months before the newspaper broke the story.

Bush Continues To Live Up To His Reputation As An Assholio
The White House
has turned down a request from the family of President-elect Barack Obama to
move into Blair House in early January so that his daughters can start school on
Jan. 5.
The Obamas were told that Blair House, where incoming presidents usually stay in
the five days before Inauguration Day, is booked...It remained unclear who on
Bushes guest list outranked the incoming President.
“It’s not a public schedule,” said Sally McDonough, spokeswoman for First Lady
Laura Bush, in refusing to disclose who was staying at Blair House. “It’s not a
question of outranking the Obamas. Blair House will be available to them on
January 15.”
Ms. McDonough said “there’s nothing more to say other than that it’s not
available and won’t be available until January 15.” She added that
“you’re trying to make a story out of something that’s not a story.”

NOTICE: Amazon has discontinued it's payboxes as of December 11, 2008
I received this email from Amazon on December 8
Dear
Amazon Honor System member:
Beginning December 11, 2008, the Amazon Honor System will be discontinued. This
means that PayBoxes on member websites and PayPages on Amazon.com will no longer
function.
Amazon Honor System members should make plans now to remove Honor System
PayBoxes from their websites. This can be done by simply removing the HTML code
originally provided for PayBoxes from your page code document.
We will provide access to disbursement information through December 30, 2008, to
allow all transactions to be settled. After that date, Amazon Honor System
account pages will be removed from the Amazon.com website.
And blah, blah, blah.
How odd that Amazon would remove this valuable service with only 3 days notice. Oh well, PayPal must be happy.
