KC News Meeting

So far this week, I've read about:
- Doyle's budget proposal, including Internet sales tax and UW provisions
- market reaction to stimulus
- unemployment rises
- Detroit puts a hand out again and negotiates with unions
- GM cuts brands
- truce between Pakistan and Taliban
- Burris investigations
- some TV stations go digital
What are you thinking about? Remember, if you don't add your 2 cents via comments, I'm more likely to draw questions from general knowledge, rather than blog postings.
