Pure gossip

Dumbest *story* ever. Not to mention boring.
Under a cloak of secrecy, some of the world's wealthiest people gathered in an unprecedented meeting early this month in New York City possibly to coordinate strategies for giving their vast fortunes to charity in the midst of the financial crisis.
This is on the ABC News site? First, it's not so secret if they know about it. Second, for all anyone knows they're planning the billionaires' annual summer picnic. And third, I'm willing to bet they've all been in the same room before, so what's so unprecendented? Seriously, isn't there some -- you know -- real news they could be covering?

Dirk, LOL. I think you're going to rival CoT for translations.

8pus - it's like the supermarket tabloids took over the entire news industry.

Cosa - according to these guys there aren't really any poor people because some of them own refrigerators, TVs, cars and indoor plumbing.
