Sad news about another plane crash into the Hudson River but this one ended tragically with nine people dead. Apparently, there are few regulations over pilots of small aircraft that fly in one of the busiest air corridors in the country. If any of you have flown along the Hudson, please share your experience here.
More reports of raucous townhall meetings over the weekend. We’ll bring you the latest developments. Have you seen evidence of a nationally organized effort to disrupt the meetings?
Wait until you hear the heartbreaking story of the abduction of 5-year-old Liam. Liam, an American boy, was taken from his father here in New York by his mentally unstable mother to Italy.

Hi Everyone,
Lots of hot topics today…
Cash for Clunkers — is the program a success or failure? It’s run out of money but does that mean it failed or succeeded beyond their wildest dreams?
New study out shows that many more Americans nap than previously thought. Are you one of them? Lord knows, I love me my naps. (I sound like the guys on Red Eye) But who has time? Apparently, million of us.
Disgraced governor Rod Blagojevich is coming out with a book about his controversial time in office and the charges against him. It’s called, “The Governor: The Truth Behind the Political Scandal that Continues to Rock the Nation.” But we think you can do better coming up with a title. Suggestions?
Do you really want to know how many calories are in that cheeseburger? Would it change your eating habits?

So it looks like all is forgiven when beer is offered. There may soon be a beer summit at the White House to mend relations between the Cambridge Police Dept, Professor Skip Gates and the President. So what type of beer does this occassion call for?

Hi Everyone,
Feels like awhile since we’ve been together on a Saturday… Let’s talk about the seeming resolution to the racial rift caused by Professor Gates’ arrest in Cambridge. President Obama says this is a ”teachable moment.” What can we all learn here. (And please, if you’re tempted to spew some sort of racist rant, this is not the blog for you). Did President Obama’s clarification to his original statement about the police acting ”stupidly” go far enough?
The House is in session today trying to hammer out a Healthcare bill before the August recess? Will they get it done? And will it be reform that the majority of Americans can live with?
What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever said or heard on a job interview. We’ll share some ridiculous lines with you. I suggest you refrain from asking the propective employer how oftent they press charges.
