Week in the News

The Dow flying high again at 10,000. Bonus numbers over the moon.
A healthcare reform package out of committee in the Senate, and up in the air, with Republican Olympia Snowe onboard — so far.
An Afghanistan troop decision, up in the air. The future of Pakistan, up in the air — with Taliban and Al Qaeda attacks all over.
Rush Limbaugh’s NFL ownership dreams? Crashed to earth. Sacked.
