Penn to Washington
Kal Penn's character shot himself to death on the latest episode of the hit show "House" and the actor is now working at the White House... where he can best help the whole country commit suicide.



Pirate Rescue?
The White House is considering how to respond to the hijacking of a U.S. cargo ship by Somali pirates. The hostages are hanging their hopes on the possibility that President Obama somehow thinks piracy is more dangerous than North Korean nukes.

One of the pirates has been captured after he voluntarily left the ship when he learned the entire cargo was parts for GM cars.



The Puma
GM and Segway have teamed up to build a two-seater vehicle called the Puma. It looks small, but the Puma actually has enough room to store all of GM's bankruptcy papers.



Auto Show
The New York International auto show begins today. This year the show is sponsored by the repo man.
