Behind the Wheel of the Tata Nano

Nice review by a reporter who test drove this great little car. $2,500 without air conditioning (AC). Interestingly, most Indians are buying the more expensive one with AC.

10 Headlines You Missed This Week
I love this guy. Truly funny. This column has ten totally fictional headlines of articles he'd like to be reading instead of the total bad news that's out there. My fav:
SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE FUNDS ‘IN SURPLUS’
Surprise Discovery in Treasury Building Leads to Joyous News
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner announced today that the “so-called Social Security ‘crisis’ is officially over.”Workmen at the Treasury Building, looking to install a new torture chamber in the basement for disgraced US Wall Street executives, opened a door and found “thousands upon thousands” of gold bars.
The bars had been put there by previous administrations against the day when 77 billion baby boomers would start to retire. Owing to a mixup in paperwork, no one told the incoming Obama administration about the gold.
“We still counting them,” a giddy Geithner told reporters. “We’re up to 40 trillion, and there are still jillions of bars left.”
President Obama said he was “very pleased” about the development.

Turning crack dealers into chief executives
via news.bbc.co.uk
BBC News felt this article was timely, but since we have been using crack dealers as chief executives here in the States for over 20 years, this story never even made the cut with a major US publication.

Video with Transcript for NYT Obama coverage
Watching the president give a press conference and watching his transcript follow along with it, gives new meaning to the previously presidential phrase: "read my lips."
Very cool stuff.
