You all have a nice weekend....

Bush
In a video taken at the G20 summit, President Bush walks across a line of world leaders without shaking or being asked to shake any of their hands. Apparently, all leaders got tired of Bush’s old French tickle joke.

Biden
Vice-President-elect Joe Biden turned 66 yesterday. He couldn’t celebrate at a bar, because his hair is still too young to drink.

Recession
Thursday was World Toilet Day, and Wall Street celebrated by flushing everybody’s 401Ks.

With the economic crisis, the famous expression "mi casa es su casa" has a different meaning, because, due to foreclosure, my home is not yours, but the bank’s.

Celebrities
Tony Romo took a homeless man to the movies, a pretty nice gesture until you find out it was a Jessica Simpson movie.

Ashlee Dupreee, the prostitute involved in the Elio Spitzer scandal, told people magazine that she‘s done with the Escort service and wants to put it all behind her... and so do all her former clients.

Thanksgiving
A video captured some turkeys being killed while Sarah Palin was talking to the press at a turkey farm in Alaska. Unfortunately, five turkeys died, as well as three Democrats that were listening to her answers.

Christmas
A survey says more people will be enjoying big trees for Christmas this year than ever before. but that's because more and more of them will be sleeping on benches at the park.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage-finance companies seized by the U.S. government, will suspend foreclosures and evictions until January 9th. Just like any other lame Christmas present, it doesn’t last more than 2 weeks after Christmas.

News
A man in Canada, who was imprisoned for cutting off his dog’s ears, had part of his own ear bitten off by another inmate. I just hope Bob Barker doesn’t go to jail then.

A dog left inside a running van put the vehicle in drive, causing it to crash into a Long Island coffee house. Apparently, the dog decided to drive the car to chase a cat that passed by riding a motorcycle.
