One year ago: Seeking to energize his second term, President Barack Obama vowed in his State of the Union address to sidestep Congress "whenever and wherever" necessary to narrow economic disparities between rich and poor. Ukraine's prime minister, Mykola Azarov, resigned and the Ukrainian parliament repealed anti-protest laws in back-to-back moves designed to defuse the country's political crisis.

The Bear Trap
-------------------------

A hunter was rushed into the emergency room with a bear trap
clamped onto his testicles. As the horrified doctor was   
examining him, he said "Man, how did this happen?"

The hunter explains that he was out in the woods and felt   
the call of nature. Bending down by a tree, the bear trap   
was triggered and snapped shut on his testicles. "Oh,"   
exclaims the doctor, "The pain must have been excruciating!"


"It was," said the hunter. "The second worst pain in my   
life."


"Second worst? What could have been worse than that?"


"Coming to the end of the chain" said the hunter.
