Duck and Cover - flying shoes in Iraq
"This is a gift from the Iraqis. This is the farewell kiss, you dog," the journalist shouted (in Arabic). After seeing the video on CNN, I couldn't understand what the guy was shouting while he is being attacked by the security, but I was watching the news today, and the reporter was saying while he was throwing his second shoe "This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq." Today there's a protest all over the middle east to release the reporter, but he is been held by the security and might be charged with an assault. This will go down in history as Bush ducked from shoes attacked in press conference.

Big Three auto CEO - From private jets to hybrid cars
The Big 3 have launched a massive campaign to repair their public image. In the latest automaker about-face, GM CEO arrived at the bailout hearings in a Chevy Malibu hybrid - jet not included.
Both Ford CEO and Chrysler CEO also drove - as in, no private jet - to the bailout hearings in hybrid cars made by their respective companies.These moves come in the wake of massive public outrage at the Big 3 when its CEO's arrived in Washington for the first bailout hearings in private jets and without detailed plans for how they would handle the bailout money. Outraged headlines such as "Begging for public funds in private jets" popped up all over the media.
