Coke II & Psychics

1. The 2010 Volkswagon Golf VI has been awarded the title of World's Best Car, an honor decided by 65 automotive journalists from 25 countries. The Golf beat out fifty other cars for the title, including the Audi A4 and the BMW 7 Series. What did the judges pick as the World's Worst Car? For the sixth straight year, Noam Chomsky.


2. There are early signs that the economy is leveling off, one expert is saying, and though there are still bumps to come, the worst is probably over. The expert refused to identify himself, but says he has a credible business background. Read all about it in his new book, "Coke II: It Can Still Work."

3. Time Warner Cable is pitching an idea for its subscribers that could charge heavy internet users about $150 a month. The idea was met with overwhelming outrage, with critics saying that it could "strangle internet innovation in the U.S." In unrelated news, Kleenex and lotion stocks have plummeted.

4. Lindsay Lohan today said that she wants to buy the rights to Stevie Nicks' life story and portray the Fleetwood Mac singer on the big screen. In a New York Times interview, Nicks, 60, shot down Lohans idea saying, "Over my dead body." Lohan, upon hearing this, wrung her hands and whispered, "And now I play the waiting game."

5. It was reported today that Dionne Warwick owes $2.18 million in California back taxes. Warwick told officials that she had no idea she had any delinquent tax bills, to which California officials replied, "Heh, okay, Miss Psychic Friends Network."

High five.
