Should there be term limits for SNL cast members? -Andrew Smith, Calgary, Alta. I wouldn't put limits on anyone's experience. Everybody has their own subjective journey on that show, so everyone has to decide when is the time to come and stay and go. Lorne Michaels is an incredibly loyal and supportive producer. It's a pretty hard job to leave...
...work with in the future? -Ansley Hayes, Dallas Phyllis Diller. I want us to do a road comedy together. And she drives. It would be called Crazy Grandma at the Wheel, and I would be a next-door neighbor she kidnaps because she's gotta get money to put down on a house in Florida.

Under the plan, called the Warranty Commitment Plan, both Chrysler and GM will contribute money to a special purpose company that will ultimately hold enough money to cover 125% of potential warranty claims.

Then word came out that Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) might use Google's operating system in some of its netbooks instead of Microsoft Windows. The important word in that report...
...coordinated stimulus. Aggregate demand in the world economy is shrinking as corporations, households and especially financial institutions rebuild their balance sheets and unwind the massively leveraged positions they took in the past 10 years. To put some heft back into the economy, the IMF has recommended an injection of demand equivalent to 2% of world output. The U.S. has taken the lead on a stimulus package, but some European nations - which tend to be wary of long-term national budget deficits - have balked at the size of the new resources required...
