● President Obama announced he wants to trim or eliminate 120 programs. The programs he wants to eliminate? Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly . . .

● Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says it's time to think about legalizing marijuana. People in California are split — half want it legalized, and the other half think it's already legal.

● Also in California, Manny Ramirez of the L.A. Dodgers tested positive for a steroid that's sometimes used as a sexual enancer. Apparently Manny couldn't get to third base on his own.

● General Motors has announced a $6 billion loss. After they get through bankruptcy, they hope to go back to making cars nobody wants.

● Today, GM announced a loss of $6 billion. Or as GM calls it, "kickin' ass."

● Sunday is Mother's Day, and there's speculation that sales of flowers will be down. One enterprising delivery service is doing something about it: "Teleflora introduces the Imaginary Bouquet. Tell mom it's all you can afford."

● Saudi Arabia's first beauty pageant begins Saturday. Some Saudis like it, but most think the contestants reveal way too much eye.
