Medicare Deadline
Doctors across the country may drop their Medicare patients Monday if Congress doesn't move quickly to stop a 21% cut in reimbursements. Luckily, most of America's sick and elderly people are members of Congress.



Home Sales Down
Home sales fell another 7.2% in January as millions of Americans decided they just wanted someone else to shovel the damn driveway.



Post Summit Results
Even after yesterday's health summit, President Obama says he may jam the health bill through Congress anyway. Republicans may not fight that as long as President Obama doesn't make them sit through any more summits.



Paterson Out
New York Governor David Paterson is not going to run for election in November. He got a better offer to write a sex column for the New York Post.



Stroke Breakthrough?
A new study finds that inserting stents are effective in preventing strokes... especially the strokes caused when patients see the bill for inserting stents.





February 25th


1952: British Prime Minister Winston Churchill announces that his nation has an atomic bomb. He then eats it.


1979: A Solar Eclipse passes over the Canadian city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Unfortunately, no one notices because it occurs during a hockey game and a rerun of SCTV.


1991: On Baghdad Radio, Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein announces the withdrawal of Iraqi troops from Kuwait. After that announcement, the radio sadly goes back to playng Milli Vanilli.
