The Iraq Study Group has concluded the situation in Iraq is "grave and dangerous" and that there is no magic formula to solve it. The group suggested as the most viable solution in Iraq, a beautiful letter to Santa.

Moon
NASA announced Monday that an international team of astronauts will be living and working at a permanent moon base to be built within the next two decades. That is the second longest contract Halliburton got, second only to the one in Iraq.

Immigration
One in seven Mexican workers has left their country and is working in the United States, an immigration study said on Tuesday.

One in seven Mexican workers has left their country and is working in the United States, an immigration study said on Tuesday. The other 6 are about to turn off the lights, and get on a van heading for the Arizona desert.

Taco Bell
Taco Bell on Tuesday raised to nine the number of fast-food restaurants it closed in New York and New Jersey after a suspected outbreak of the E. coli bacteria. Apparently not even the Chihuahua wants its Taco bell now.

Cats
Edinburgh scientists revealed today that cats can suffer from a feline form of Alzheimer's disease. Maybe that’s why my fatty cat asks me to feed him 2 minutes after I did so… he forgets.
