Too Bad It's Not Bernanke: Boozy Chimp Sent To Rehab
Ai Ai, a 26-year-old chimpanzee, enjoys a cigarette after a meal in his glass enclosure at the zoo in Xian, in central China's Shaanxi province. He has been sent to rehab by zookeepers to cure the smoking and beer-drinking habits he has picked up, a popular daily reported on Friday.
Relax. It's Friday.

RADICAL: Obama May Prohibit All Home Foreclosures Without Review by Loan Modification Program
Foreclosures are the solution, not the problem. Housing prices are still much too high versus incomes in most of the country. It was a great thing that home modification programs weren't working, and now Obama wants to make it mandatory.
When will we allow the market to finally correct itself naturally, instead of these ridiculous attempts at spend, pretend & extend. Politics wins, you lose, again.
And if you're a renter, then there's really nothing anyone can say to ease the continued injustice.

John Stossel, Glenn Beck & Penn Jillette Discuss The Nanny State, Canada and ObamaCare (VIDEO)
Video: Cato Institute Fellow Penn Jillette and John Stossel join Glenn Beck to discuss health care, the nanny state, Canada and more -- Fall 2009
I haven't even watched this clip yet, so let's hope it doesn't suck. I will watch it as soon as I finish posting. Apparently (verified it), Penn Jillette from Penn and Teller, is a fellow for the CATO Institute.
UPDATE: Teller is also a Cato Institute Fellow and Libertarian:
- Teller, on the other hand, has been quieter about his politics, but did come clean during an online chat on WashingtonPost.com. When asked who he supported in the 2000 election, Teller said, "I am Libertarian. Democrats and Republicans, well, it's kind of like a 'magician's choice' -- two identical incumbent organizations pretending to be different so that we will vote the same old mob back into power. I think our only hope is to support intelligent third-party candidates." (December 29, 2000.)
