Cost

An official with Air Canada's regional carrier Jazz says the airline is removing life vests from all its planes to save weight and fuel. The spokeswoman says Canadian air travel regulations allow passengers to use floatation devices instead of life vests provided the planes remain within 50 miles of shore. Pretty soon airlines will be charging like lunchmeat - by the pound.

Giving

According to a study, if a man is told he is not "man enough," he tends to overcompensate by acting macho. And did you know that you are considered macho when you tithe your 10 percent.

The Republican National Convention was this week with one of the highlight speakers the Alaska governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. She promised to take on big government and give free whale meat to every home.

World Peace

We found out a lot about the Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin this week. For example, back in 1984, she came in second in the Miss Alaska beauty pageant. And if she does become vice president, she will be the first beauty pageant contestant to actually bring about world peace.

Caring For

TV's "Inside Edition" recently caught up with Cheetah, the chimp who starred alongside Johnny Weissmuller in the "Tarzan" movies of the 1930's. The celebrity chimp is now 76-years-old. He's retired and living in Palm Springs, California living near the legendary actor Kirk Douglas. Something is wrong when a monkey lives better off than the middle class.

Desperate

A New York City woman has hired a live-in nanny despite her ad on Craiglist, which read, in part: "My kids are a pain. I can be a tad difficult to work for. I'm loud, pushy and while I used to think we paid well, I am no longer sure. If you are fundamentally unhappy with your life, you will be more unhappy if you take this job, so do us all a favor and get some treatment or move to the Rockies, but do not apply for employment with us." You would have to be real desperate to apply for this job.

Delight

In an interview with "Rolling Stone," David Letterman says he wants to continue hosting his late night show through the end of his contract, and possibly longer. At the same time, Letterman says he's puzzled by NBC's plan to remove Jay Leno as host of "The Tonight Show" host next year. Letterman admits he has to believe Leno "was not happy about it." And since Jay Leno stole Letterman's dream job, Letterman is happy about the whole matter.

Prophecy

After all the naming problems the Democratic campaign has had, why Obama would pick a running mate with the last name Biden is beyond me. Obama-Biden sounds just like Osama bin Laden. I'll have to check to see if this could be one of the four horsemen.

Wealth

The Republican National Convention was delayed a day because of Hurricane Gustav.  John McCain went down south to aid the hurricane victims or maybe he remembered he owned a home there.
