1. Well, two kids stole a car

took it for a ride, tried to run from the police in two states, got into a wreck, and are now in jail. Tthat's local news, Quad Cities Iowa and Illinois. But since it's here and not somewhere else, it doesn't really count as newsworthy outside our area.
Health care "debate" goes on and on.
Obama's poll numbers are down, and the rw is gleeful.
"Cash for Clunkers" was fabulously successful.
The Rwers are still insane and quite likely have completely lost what's left of their minds.
Grassley still sucks.
