There have been at least three other cases in which federal agencies have succeeded in placing fake news reports on television during the Bush presidency. It was a really good tour. It seemed maybe about a week too long.

In that sense, when a Bush or a Gore, or whomever, goes on David Letterman, that's the news, too.

You have safety and soundness as primary purpose of the Federal Reserve, the OCC, and the other agencies which control banking regulation.

If Bush would like to have somebody screaming curses at him about three times a week at the other end of the White House, then McCain is his man,

Feckless as it was for Bush to ask Americans to go shopping after 9/11, we all too enthusiastically followed his lead, whether we were wealthy, working-class or in between. We spent a decade feasting on easy money, don't-pay-as-you-go consumerism and a metastasizing celebrity culture.

Maybe some of today's papers have too many 'feel-good' features, but there is a lot of good news out there.
