Going Hollywood
The Obama administration has met with Titanic director James Cameron to see if he has any ideas on how to plug the BP oil well. This comes just months after the White House formed its health care reform bill while consulting with Lindsay Lohan.



Oil in Florida
The BP oil slick could hit Florida today. The state is scrambling to stop the oil from coming ashore, mostly by borrowing Arizona's border guards.



Iran Runs to the Dollar
Because the euro is crashing, Iran is emptying its treasury to buy more dollars... or as the mullahs put it, they're holding the dollars hostage.



Gore Divorce
Al and Tipper Gore are splitting up after 40 years of marriage. The last straw for Tipper was when Al started using recycled condoms.



Knievel Honored
The Harley-Davidson Museum will open a new exhibit this summer paying tribute to Evel Knievel. This is in addition to the permanent exhibit honoring Knievel at the Orthopedics Hall of Fame.

1886: President Grover Cleveland marries Frances Folsom in the White House, becoming the only president to wed in the executive mansion, and the only president NOT to have sex in the White House.


1999: After banning TV for decades, the Bhutan Broadcasting Service brings television transmissions for the first time. Luckily, the BBS simply simulcasts CNN, so no one in that country has still ever watched TV.


1979: Pope John Paul II visits his native Poland, becoming the first Pope to visit a Communist country since John XXIII visited Massachusetts.
