1. At the Berlin Film Festival, the grand prize went to the movie “The Milk of Sorrow”. Yes, how strange that Germans picked that. Very different from last year’s grand prize winner: “This Film Will Make You Want to Kill Yourself”.
2. Obama said that the new stimulus bill would be a major milestone on the road to recovery, because at a thousand pages, it can actually be used to pave roads.
3. The king of Saudi Arabia fired the country’s top judge, because the judge said that owners of cable companies could be put to death. Now I know what you’re thinking: “If only they could do that here.”
4. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be heading to China this week. In honor of her visit, the Chinese government is going to create a welcoming rug made out of five thousand Tibetans. The latest agreement with China is that China keeps buying our Treasury Bonds, and we keep buying that they‘re improving their human rights.
5. After the big salmonella scandal, the Peanut Corporation of America plans to liquidate. Yeah, I once had some peanut butter that did that.
