Down from that ledge. Sure, it’s a nightmare on Wall Street, but look on the bright side. It’s great for business at Judd &Black. Mattress sales should take off, since the only safe place for your money is underneath one.

Separated at birth: Tina Fey’s spot-on performance as Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live” has fans eager for an encore. But Fey might be awfully busy.
