R&R For Fifty Bucks

1. Republican Representative from North Carolina Patrick McHenry introduced a bill Tuesday to remove Ulysses S. Grant from the $50 bill and add former President Ronald Reagan. So far 13 Republicans have cosponsored the measure. But historians say Reagan's face should be put on something he's more familiar with, like a trillion dollar bill.

2. This week Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick of Arizona introduced the Taking Responsibility for Congressional Pay Act, to cut the pay of all congress members by 5%. "Families across the country are getting by on lower wages ... so why shouldn't senators and representatives have to feel the same pinch?" asked Kirkpatrick. In future news, today Congress overwhelmingly passed a new measure called the Shoot Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick Into Space Act.

3. On Wednesday at a conference in California, developer Bryan Horling with Google said about 1 in 5 of everyone's searches is personalized based on their web history, location, and friends. "When we have information related to the user, it tends to be pretty clear what they're looking for," said Horling. Remember when you kept getting all those ads for stores specializing in S&M, lubricants, and Hello Kitty? They know.

4. The FAA suspended two air traffic controllers this week after the son of one was allowed to relay a few routine messages to pilots on the runway. "JetBlue 171, cleared for takeoff," the boy is heard saying in one recording. And today, Al Qaeda released a video declaring Take Your Kids To Work Day a complete success.

5. Tonight, Democratic Florida Rep. Alan Grayson will debate Republican Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann on Larry King Live on the topic of health care reform. Show producers say their goal is to ensure an even, balanced debate, so prior to the telecast they will secretly feed Grayson crazy pills.

High five.
