  Headlines are back after a brief vacation. Here’s a quick recap of what you missed:

  1.) There is still a presidential election in November and you still have thousands of mind-numbing political ads to be subjected to.
  2.) The news media has nothing better to cover than the alleged sexual three-way of the former N.J. governor.
  3.) J.P. Morgan bought Bear Stearns for two dollars a share showing that companies can now merge together with the help of a script writer and coreographer.
  4.) A tornado ripped through Atlanta.
  5.) The nation was shocked when New York governor Elliot Spitzer was discovered to be using the services of a (gasp) prostitute - crossing the fine line of politics and ethics which sent the media and an entire civilization into a frenzy.
  6.) St. Patrick’s Day gave millions of Americans a reason to drink other than the state of the economy and primetime television.
  7.) There is still violence in Tibet. The Chinese are still killing Tibetans. The Tibetans are rioting. The Dalai Lama may resign as Tibet’s head of state. America and CNN thinks N.J. governor three-way story is more important.
