Supreme Court Justice Paul Stevens retiring. Republican Senators already salivating at prospect of opposing President Obama's replacement nominee, no matter who it is.
Obama and Russian President Medvedev sign treaty reducing their nuclear arsenals. Now they only have enough weapons to blow up the world 50 times over.
Obama says treaty is step toward total elimination of nuclear weapons. Republicans scoff at him as naive. Funny, they didn't refer to Ronald Reagan that way when he said the same thing.
By the way, anyone who contemplates a world without nuclear weapons hasn't consulted Israel.
Obama calls Washington meeting of heads of state of 47 nations to discuss keeping nuclear materials out of hands of terrorists. Guess who's not coming to dinner at Blair House?......why it's Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu...he sent a deputy.

Probably not.
Apple's iPad goes on sale amid much fanfare. What's the big deal? Peace in the Middle East? There's no app for that. Reducing national debt? No app for that. Chicago Cubs win World Series? There's no app for that. Call me when it's the greatest thing since sliced bread or canned beer.
Duke wins NCAA basketball championship. Who says white men can't jump?
