Becoming
Internet rumors are swirling that former Vice President Dan Quayle will be joining the lineup for the new season of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." He will go from one of the most powerful men in America to a TV dancer. I think he will do all right just as long as he doesn't have to speak.

Caring For
The US Justice Department has indicted Alaska Senator Ted Stevens on charges related to a long-running investigation of business dealings in Alaska. He was your typical Senator - taking care of his people by spending tax dollars for unnecessary things like a "Bridge to Nowhere."

Splendor
The Olympic Games are to start in China on August the 8th. China has spent a lot of money trying to show the world what a splendid place China is.. .but you can barely see it through the smog.

Miracle
Near San Jose, California, this week, an apparently drunk man broke into a small airport and tried to fill up his car's gas tank with jet fuel. Police arrested the man for DUI and attempted theft. It's a miracle they caught him as he was going 600 miles-an-hour.

Ban
The International Olympic Committee admits it has an internet censorship deal with China, but the agreement, the Committee says, was reached on a basis that blocks sites which are not Games related.   Some journalists have been complaining of finding access to sites deemed sensitive to China's communist leadership blocked. I don't think that is a big problem - there are many internet sites I wish I could block.

Stress
According to a survey, mothers who work outside the home are more stressed than working women who don't have children. Meanwhile, men are relatively carefree whether they have kids or not.

According to a new survey out this week, men start out in life less happy and then become happier as they get older. While women start out more happy and then become less. I can explain why. Older age women are completely burned out from taking care of their husbands and children.

Inherit
John McCain said "no" this week when asked by a young girl if he would raise taxes as president. The US deficit will be half a trillion dollars in 2009. Where are we going to get the money? From the tooth fairy.

I can't imagine why someone would want to be our next president.   He is going to inherit a bunch of federal programs and no money to pay for them.

Prayer
There is a new Christian group called "Prayer at the Pump." It's a religious group that shows up at gas stations and they pray for lower prices. Otherwise known as the new United States energy policy.
