...downfall of the SUV has been predicted for years. You say it's coming at $6 per gallon. Can't someone develop a safe, light, super-green SUV? It's certainly possible. But it wouldn't be a car accessible to many people. Take Chevy's Tahoe Hybrid, for example. This truck contains cutting-edge technology. But [here's] the bottom line for this hybrid SUV: 21 m.p.g. at a cost of $50,000. Those aren't stats that come close to practical. When gas reaches $6 per gallon, Americans will take the path of least resistance - and that means...
Even after his Tonight career, and when he fell on well-publicized financial hard times recently, McMahon was willing to poke fun at himself, spoofing his troubles this year in a Super Bowl ad for Cash4Gold.com You gotta laugh: that was the message McMahon sent to the public through the end.

Malpartida, known as "Dynamite" to her fans, is the World Boxing Association's female super featherweight champion.

He wowed 'em at the Super Bowl and with spectacular concert tours whose special effects never overwhelmed the slender dude with the gentle demeanor, dervish footwork and nonpareil showmanship. If you were a star in the '80s, you'd want to be Michael Jackson...
...Echoing a call made by Zhou Xiaochuan, its governor, in March, China's central bank advocated a new global reserve currency in its annual financial-stability report released last Friday. Raising concerns of a move away from the dollar as the world's reserve, the proposal for a "super-sovereign" coin nudged down the greenback vs. a host of major currencies. That may have been a tad more impact than Zhou was seeking: with something like two-thirds of China's roughly $2 trillion of foreign-currency reserves held in dollars, the lower a buck goes, the less China...
