Quick mention of the Midwest storms that I read about this morning since they quoted someone from Mankato, MN where my parents live.

Next is the 60 Minutes Rundown. First up is the feature on Oil Features which show that the the past price spike the oil industry had little or no say on the price per barrel thanks to oil commodities pandered on Wall Street. Next up is an interview with the Joint Chief's Chairman Mike Mullen about how the Obama administration plans on handling the Middle East conflict with Iraq and the mainly forgotten Afghanistan. Wyclef Jean is next and again a very positive celebrity story talking about his work to improve his home country of Haiti. Its nice to see encouraging stories with celebrities at times like this. And of course Andy Rooney, this time discussing his favorite holiday.

OK First story is about Unempolyment Claims crashing networks. Yes the economy is hit to the point that the computer networks can process things fast enough to keep up. this is a mixed thing because while it means more jobs are being cut it also means that there will be plenty of able people to take up job programs should the government choose to go that route.

Speaking of getting fired, in addition to loosing its balls on standing up for its wrestlers (IE Muhammad Hassan and Chris Benoit), now the World Wrestling Entertainment apparent has developed a fear of the phrase "Fired", instead using the stupidest phrase yet I've heard..."Efficiences". Are they that sad that they can't even use a simple phrase? No wonder Trump kicked McMahon's keister, He at least has no fear of the English language.

Finishing up jobs, Australia may have the Best Job in the World, being a caretaker of Hamilton Island. Anyone in the world can apply, and while I like being warm I think I would melt down there

Top story for the past week is the Impeachment of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich by a vote of 114-1 with one declaring present. 114-1-1. OUCH. Sorry but it doesn't get much more final than that. All I have to say is good lock Rod, you'll need it.

In some fun news a lady has found what seems to be one of, if not the first Baseball Cards of the Red Stocking B.B. Club of Cincinnati. It sounds like they were baseball's equivalent of the early days of the Harlem Globetrotters who used to just crush other teams until they started adding tricks to their routine.

Last up, we know what the Seven wonders of the World were, and What the current seven man made wonders are now its time for the Seven Natural Wonders. Yup someone is trying to cement the seven places in the world that can be considered "wonders". I expect a lot of quiet dissension on this one, especially well well known places start getting eliminated.
