QOTD: Describing the highlights of March 2010: "Democratic congressional leaders, responding to polls showing that the health-care bill is increasingly unpopular with the public, manage, with a frantic, last-minute effort, to pass the health-care bill, or at least a giant mass of paper that is assumed to be the health-care bill. This leads to a triumphant White House signing ceremony, the highlight of which is Vice President Joe Biden dropping the f-bomb moments before being hustled off by aides to have an important meeting with somebody important.

...In international news: Greece asks the International Monetary Fund if it can borrow 17 billion euro for "cigarettes." And Somali pirates, becoming increasingly brazen, seize the Staten Island Ferry.

On a more hopeful note, on March 27 people in more than 4,000 cities around the world turn off their lights in observance of Earth Hour, saving an estimated 45 million megawatts of electricity -- enough to power one of Al Gore's houses for nearly three days." -- Dave Barry
