This week PRESIDENT OBAMA leaves for a ten-day trip to Singapore, China, South Korea and Japan. Meanwhile, JOHN McCAIN will have breakfast, lunch and an Early Bird Dinner at Panda Express.

The health-care reform bill was passed last weekend by the House and it was close. 220 yeas, 215 nays and one "You lie, you lie!"

To win passage for the health-care bill PRESIDENT OBAMA went to Capitol Hill and personally lobbied some of the wavering congressmen, causing the health insurance industry to be very upset. They said they bought and paid for those congressmen and he had no right going up there and talking to them.

Congressman, WILLIAM JEFFERSON, who the F.B.I. caught with $90,000 in bribe money in his freezer, was convicted of 11 counts of bribery and corruption. The Congressman insists he did nothing wrong and claims he just fell in with the wrong crowd - Congress.

MASTERJOKE THEATRE

Once upon a time there was a female brain cell which, by mistake, happened to end up in a man's head. She looked around nervously, but it was all empty and quiet.

"Hello?" she cried out, but there was no answer. "Is there anyone here?" she called a little louder, but still there was no answer.

Now the female brain cell started to feel alone and scared and yelled at the top of her voice, "HELLO! IS THERE ANYONE HERE?"

Finally, she heard a very faint voice coming from far, far below saying. "We're all down here."
