2. What was with the question at the vice-presidential debate about which is worse, a nuclear Iran or an unstable Pakistan. What do those have to do with each other? “Quick, which is worse: poverty in Brazil or, um, Kevin Federline?”
3. There was a false anonymous report today that Steve Jobs had a heart attack. Which caused every investor in Apple to have one too. The report was on a CNN website called “Unedited. Unfiltered. News.” And. No. Sentences.
4. The government of California now says that it might have to borrow $7 billion from the federal government. I don’t know if they’ve heard, but the feds don’t have a lot of cash right now. Maybe they should be hitting up Exxon.
5. The highest-paid author in the world is - surprise - J.K. Rowling. #2 on the list is the guy who writes computer instruction manuals, because those are great works of fiction.
