News you can use:

Florida Governor Charlie Crist, who promised to be 'the Everglades governor,' is holding true to his word. He announced yesterday morning a deal to buy out U.S. Sugar for $1.75 billion and regain control of over 187,000 acres of Everglades land that had been turned into farmland by the company. Holy. Cow. That is some serious eco-environmento-goodness right there.

Former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan called the U.S. economy 'on the brink' of a recession. You think? If only a recession was more about recess and less about -ion.

Apparently Senator Barack Obama has asked his top contributors to help Senator Hillary Clinton with her $10 million debt. Clinton will be at an Obama fundraiser Thursday night and the pair will campaign together on Friday in New Hampshire. Look at these two, making nice! Is it for the Democratic party as a whole or for a Dream Ticket? One wonders...

News you can lose:

Shaq is losing his special deputy badge after the tough sheriff who issued them got wind of his recent rap about Kobe Bryant. Shaq used words that Sheriff Joe Arpaio found unacceptable and is calling for his badges back. Oooh, Shaq, don't be making Sheriff Arpaio mad! He'll make you wear pink underwear!
