President Obama called in Bill Clinton Friday to make the case for his tax cut deal to angry and defiant House Democrats.

WikiLeaks cables revealed Friday that the State Department believes Cuba is only two or three years away from being insolvent. What a coincidence. That would mean in the 100-year struggle between communism and capitalism, we finished tied at the end of regulation.   
The Global Warming Summit met in Cancun Friday amid the coldest weather Mexico ever recorded. Even worse they booked an open-air hotel.
It was so cold in the rooms that Al Gore had to ask the masseuse to imagine what he’d look like if he dropped his towel.
