Presto! Instant Comedy and good times for all!
Wachovia (x) CEO and (x) Chairman Ken Thompson will have lots of time to hang out with his dudes after the board of directors “asked him to retire.” For that matter, maybe he’ll have a wingman soon, as Washington Mutual strips Mr. Killinger of his title of Chairman, requests that he focus more on the CEO part of his job.

The Economist sent a writer to Finland to find out what makes there school great, and he stopped in Sweden on the way, were apparently the Swedes have decided that pandering to kids’ self esteem is bad for education. The things these norse pagans come up with… next thing you know they’ll be throwing a squad of bikini clad blond bombshells out of a plane to promote beer.

Speaking of pregnancy… well, ok, I’ve got nothing.
To of the morning to you,
