1. Happy Birthday Mr. 16th President
Abraham Lincoln would have been 200 yrs old today. Test what you think you know about him, with a nifty quiz from the PBS show “Looking for Lincoln.” And don’t forget to watch “Looking For Lincoln too.” Which you can do, online, right here… (From Whitehouse.gov, and PBS.org)
2. Stimulus Agreed Upon
Looks like President Obama will have it on his desk, by Monday. “Highlights” of this thing can be found here. (From Yahoo and the AP)
3. Satellites Collide Above Siberia
This is the first time this has ever happened. 1200lb American (commercial) vs. 2000lb Russian. The debris field is at 600 pieces and could grow. At risk: The International Space Station (minor risk) The Hubble (greater risk) and some stuff on the ground (everyone start wearing hard hats). (From the Houston Chronicle)
4. Remember Roland Burris? He’s, maybe, kinda, thinking about running in 2010
Blago appointed him, drama ensued, and now the Dems are worried he’d be such a weak candidate in 2010 that a GOPer could snag the President’s old Senate Seat. (From Politico)
5. US Military Tech easily bought on Pakistani Streets
A reporter buys a US Army Engineer’s Laptop and case for $650 in Peshawar Pakistan. (From Global Post)
