Quote for the day:

Before I go out to take a picture of someone, I just stop at the city desk and say, 'Do you want him gazing out toward the sunset or picking his nose?'

- Calvin Trillin, American journalist, humorist, and novelist.




In the News:

Bush unviels his stimulus plan saying it should be "direct and rapid income tax relief to the American people." He says the package should be equal to about 1% of gross domestic product, he said, which would be about $140 billion for a full year.

Washington Mutual reported a nearly $2 billion fourth-quarter net loss. "Battered by mortgage losses, WaMu may not be able to continue as an independent company, and J.P. Morgan Chase is seen as a potential suitor, according to recent media reports."
