1. An Iraqi cameraman threw his shoes at President Bush and called him a dog. Now, I don’t know how Iraqis treat their politicians, but I know I don’t want to be a dog there. That’s not a nice way to treat a dog. Luckily, Bush was able to duck out of the way, showing his skill at dodging anything thrown at him by reporters.
2. Some of the biggest banks in the world have lost money in this $50 billion fraud run by Bernie Madoff. This follows on their huge losses in the fraud known as “intelligent home buyers”. After subprime loans, are we surprised they gave so much money to someone who couldn’t pay them back? Next, we’re going to find that the banks were lending money to my uncle Joey.
3. Casinos have been losing a lot of money in the current recession, and some people say that the gambling age should be lowered to 18. Yeah, teach kids to throw their money away early. That’s an important lesson. And you know, they should be getting more money from the young and healthy, instead of from buses of senior citizens.
4. A new study says that obesity may be partially due to having a different brain than thinner people. Which has increased the demand for brain removal surgery. Luckily, the only people who want it have already had it done.
5. Madonna gave Guy Ritchie $90 million. Considering his budgets, he’ll be able to make about 20 movies with that.
