Health Care Reform
President Obama is piling on the pressure when it comes to health care. He’s spending his day selling national health care reform and hosting a town hall meeting tonight, while lawmakers struggle to come up with money to pay for the massive overhaul.

While researching "murderabilia" for our Friday segment, we came across some incredible/inexplicable stuff for sale. Seriously... who buys it? And, as one of our Tweeters asked, "Do they break it out at dinner parties for fun?" As you ponder that scenario, check out Kyra's interview with "Mr. Murderabilia" Andy Kahan.
