1. A new study says that cold sores may be one of the causes of Alzheimer’s Disease, which means kissing causes Alzheimer’s. At least you won’t kiss and tell, because you won’t even remember being kissed.

2. The CEO of Merrill Lynch is asking for a $10 million bonus, because the company only got taken over in desperation, rather than actually going bankrupt. That’s like a security guard saying “Hey, sure I let people loot your store. But I didn’t let it burn to the ground! Give me a bonus!”

3. Scientists have now shown that dogs have a basic understanding of fairness. Then why do they put up with eating out of a bowl and rolling over? Don’t we love our dogs because they have no concept of fairness?

4. Some laid-off factory workers in Illinois are camped inside their old factory until they get severance and vacation pay. The union wants Bank of America to help, because the bank cut off financing. I guess when you bail out a bank, the water just goes into another boat.

5. The Supreme Court has thrown out a lawsuit claiming that Obama is too British to be president. Well, Bush acts like a soccer hooligan, but it didn’t stop him.
