The Five W's: Why? Why? Why? Why? And Why?
The Energy Department says winter heating bills may be 50 percent higher, with the sharpest increases for those who burn natural gas. Elderly Americans can offset the cost, however, by burning all that junk mail explaining the new Medicare prescription drug plan.
Of course, no reporter asked the most important question of all: Why?
Why will heating bills go up? No shortage of natural gas is expected. Then WHY?
Why have reporters stopped asking why?
What's a Pandemic?
The United States and the World Health Organization on Wednesday warned the economic impact from a flu pandemic would be enormous. Like what? Most of the millions killed might have huge unpaid credit card bills?

The Yellow Rose of Utah...
Can you believe it, Marie Osmond is 46 years old on Thursday? I can remember when Marie was a little bit country. Now, she's a little bit wrinkled.
- Hey, they're the cutest wrinkles you'll ever see.
I'm glad Marie finally cut her hair. For a while there it looked like she wanted to be a fluffy Crystal Gayle.
