And we're walking, and we're walking, and we're stopping.

Norfolk has a world championship. In kickball.

One of favorite movies ever: Dave. One of my favorite scenes in that movie: when they figure out the budget. That's why I love getting emails like this from Randy Forbes' crew. Apparently all it takes to revamp the economy: three weeks of really hard work.

"If we simply focus the next three weeks on addressing the most critical issues to our economy, I am confident that we would lay a foundation for economic growth, new jobs, and a financially stable future for our families,” said Forbes.

Congressman Forbes outlined the following key issues Congress must address over the next three weeks to transform the economy:

Week One: Get the federal government under control by addressing wasteful spending and removing the burden of unnecessary government regulations from American businesses.

Week Two: Create a comprehensive energy plan focused on increasing our domestic oil supply, increasing our conservation efforts, and investing in alternative energy sources to release our dependence on foreign oil.

Week Three: Put more money back in the wallets of hard-working middle-class families by simplifying the federal tax code, promoting small business, and improving access to education. "

I wish Washington worked that way.

I was interested in this story about cheating on the GMAT. If there is a lesson to be learned from it, I guess it's not to post messages on GMAT message boards. Or at least don't post them using your own name. But seriously, people are paying $30 to know some of the questions? Wow.
