1. So Will Ferrell has a show on Broadway now. As if New York City hadn’t gone through enough already.

2. Airlines are now considering charging people for using toilets on airplanes. So if you don’t have the cash, you’re really going to start appreciating those vomit bags.

3. The Simpsons is going to become the longest-running TV series of all time. The previous record was Gunsmoke, which is fitting, because that’s about what it’s going to take to stop the Simpsons. And they’re going to keep going until they find a cure for all the characters’ jaundice.

4. It looks like Obama is going to stop federal officials from raiding medical marijuana stores in California. If only there was marijuana for the economy, so that its appetite would come back.

5. President Obama has outlined his plans to have most of our troops out of Iraq by August 2010. He says that he’s trying to take the middle way, since that worked so well for Bush. 50,000 troops would remain behind in an advisory capacity. That’s what our troops in Vietnam were doing too, weren’t they?
