Some more lowlights: Courtney Cox: "You're probably online right now, aren't you?" Duh. Dustin Hoffman: "All you need is a mouse." Can't you just picture old Dusty clicking his disconnected mouse in front...

Thanks to Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, which crippled Gulf Coast refineries, drivers in the Southeast are creeping around town with their gas gauges on empty, searching for a pump that isn't dry. And while oil companies said supply would improve by Columbus Day, the long lines aren't the only thing giving us déjà vu.

Still, now that Monday's stock market free fall has generated phone calls from concerned constituents to go along with the angry ones opposing any rescue package, most GOP House members do want to see something passed - only they'd prefer that it be done without their votes. Worse yet, there is precious little that President Bush, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson...
