The Weekend Desk Report

Look, this may not be pretty. But it's got to be better than certain international sporting events we could mention.

Market Update
Of course Gold is still the market standard, but in a recession it seems even Bronze is worth bitching about.

Chinese New Year
Looks like it really is going to be the Year of the Tiger. This comes as a disappointment to those who had hoped it would be the Year of Sour Grapes.

Flashback
Hey, remember when we were embarrassed not to get the Olympics? Yeah, times were simpler back then.

After the Cuts
It looks like the RTA is a little slow on the uptake. The Rapture happened last week. Turns out we've all been left behind.

Pension Reform
You know what? We're not going to make fun of Rod Blagojevich for appearing on a cheesy reality TV show that won't even afford him the title of Most Controversial Hair. Turns out, he might actually need the job.

Public Offense
Finally this week, we'd say "duh" but it looks like that could get us into trouble somehow.
