1. Ringo Starr has announced that he will no longer sign anything for fans after October 20. He says that he has way too many other things to do. Which is why he had plenty of time while he was with the Beatles.
2. American Paul Krugman has won the Nobel Prize in economics, for his work on economies of scale. And economies of scale are getting important as Americans become more obese. This is a big shift from a hundred years ago, when researchers were focusing on economies of smallpox.
3. Remember Mark Foley, the congressman who had to resign after he sent sexy messages to his assistants? Well, the congressman who took over for him has revealed that he paid $125,000 to a former mistress. I hear that the next person to run for that seat is going to be John Edwards.
4. Yet another former child star from the Brady Bunch has come out with a memoir about drug addiction. Which kid? Does it really matter anymore? When are we just going to ban children from appearing on TV? It’s obviously worse than anything else they could go through.
5. The banking system in Iceland is still frozen, which I would find more funny if I hadn’t lost so much money there.
