Bill's world.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)

Indonesian lawmakers have censured their president for corruption and incompetence. But we can't recall his name. We must have Indoamnesia.

Scientists say they've found new and confirming evidence of the Big Bang. An old tape of Strom Thurmond asking, "What was that noise?"

Researchers say they're increasingly sure that only about 4.5 percent of the universe's total mass can be accounted for by ordinary matter. A similar amount probably is made up of Bill Gates' portfolio.

"I love space," says Dennis Tito, the rich space tourist now aboard the international space station. Probably he'd say that about anything that cost him $20 million.

NASA is requiring Tito to pay for anything he breaks in space. He's in trouble. He's already broken into a smile.

Mr. Bush invited Congress to lunch on Monday, and 193 of the 535 members showed up. The others know what Dennis Tito knows _ there's no such thing as a free launch.

"I think we're making progress toward changing the tone in Washington," Mr. Bush says. From off-color to off-key?
