Hi everyone…
Lawmakers are back on Capitol Hill, dealing with an auto industry that’s running on empty. Democrats want to use part of the $700 billion Wall Street bailout to help Detroit's Big Three automakers.

30TH ANNIVERSARY OF JONESTOWN - Three decades ago on Wednesday, an unusual series of events led to the deaths of more than 900 people in the middle of a South American jungle.

A total of 912 people committed suicide, believing that they were sacrificing their lives to preserve their church and their beliefs.
