Welcome to a brand new crop of 202ers. Each week, I post to the "KC News Meeting" tag on this blog a short list of things that have made the news during this week. This should prompt you to make sure you've prepared for the current events quizzes. But my lists aren't comprehensive or exhaustive. So I want you to post comments to add news items you think are important. I try to draw quiz questions from a combination of my posts and your comments.
So what's been happening:
- one word: Blagojevich
- economic stimulus package
- John Updike dies
- administration appointments, including Timothy Geithner for Treasury
- Pfizer pharmaceutical may be getting much bigger
- Gov. Jim Doyle covers the state budget woes
- Microsoft cuts jobs
- Obama makes a move on auto emissions
- massive Wall Street bonuses look bad, very very bad
- upcoming elections in Iraq
