"Let's begin tonight with news from the Bush family retreat in Kennebunkport,
Maine. Or, as the president calls it, Pillow Fort One. ... Where, over the
weekend, newly-minted French President Nicolas Sarkozy was invited to join the
president and first lady. ... Fortunately, the two leaders seemed to hit it off
quite well. All the president had to do was try not to live down to the worst
stereotypes of Americans [on screen: Bush saying, 'We're going to give him a
hamburger and hot dog, his choice']. Actually, it could have been worse. The
president actually wanted lunchables" --Jon Stewart

An artist's rendering of the white dwarf GD 362, surrounded by a dust disk, located 150 light-years from Earth, is seen in this undated handout. A light year is about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion km), the distance light travels in a year. Chemical elements observed around a burned-out star known as a white dwarf offer evidence Earth-like planets once orbited it, suggesting that worlds like our own may not be rare in the cosmos, scientists said on August 16, 2007.
