Senator Ted Kennedy is back at work after a long recovery
from brain surgery. 

Chatting with reporters outside his Capitol office,
the Massachusetts Democrat said he hopes to work with President Obama
on health care reform. 

Thousands of Citigroup workers are about to be out of work. 

The nation's fourth largest bank says it's slashing 50-thousand jobs
because of the shrinking economy.

And rescuing automakers is the hot topic on Capitol Hill today.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is asking the state’s courts
to overturn the citizen’s recent vote to ban gay marriage in California,
as unconstitutional.

Arnold says, to him, marriage is between a man a woman...
but that he wouldn’t force that option on anyone.

He wants the protests—on both sides—to stop.

A lot of those protests have been aimed at the Mormon Church,
which pumped 20-million dollars into the campaign
to pass Proposition Eight.

Church officials released a statement Friday, telling protestors
to back off, in the name of religious freedom.

Critics of the church point to its members who believe marriage
is between a man...and SEVERAL women.

The next banks to need a bail-out may be...British sperm banks.

Facilities in the U-K say that—thanks to new laws there,
they’re getting fewer donors.

The new laws include one that allows children
to learn the identities of their donor daddies.

Another, limits the number of women who can use the work
of just one donor.

Donations are now down by about forty percent.

The vaccine recently approved for preventing cervical cancer
in young women, has now been shown to prevent genital warts in men.

That could double the sales at Merck pharmaceuticals.
The drug had only been approved for women,
because it had NOT been shown to prevent disease in men.

Now that it has, it will soon likely be available to men, who—of course—
can carry the virus that causes both the warts...and the cervical cancer.

And while the Playboy Empire crumbles, Penthouse is looking to expand.

The men’s publisher says it’ll buy a significant property
on the Las Vegas Strip...with a hotel and casino resort.

Quoting C-E-O Marc Bell, “The best time to buy is in a down economy.”

He also says, “We far surpass anything Playboy ever dreamed.”

A couple on a crowded train from Liverpool to London was arrested
last week, after a guard watching security video, saw the woman
perform an act on her male partner.

The woman’s been released on bail.  The 49 year old businessman
is facing charges of “unacceptable behavior.”
