It’s a classic. Really: Hoping to encourage people to get rid of their gas-guzzling wrecks, Congress is considering a program to pay people up to $4,500 to junk their clunkers and buy a fuel-efficient car.
Listen here, Congress: You can have my 1976 Chevy Nova when you can pry the keys from my cold, dead fingers. And even then, someone’s going to have to give you a jump start.
Dressed to chill: Women worried about showing up at one of Barack Obama’s inaugural balls and finding someone wearing the same high-fashion dress can go to www.dressregistry.com to record what they plan to wear to avoid that embarrassment.
If you’re wondering: The Buzz’s attire for the 9 a.m. broadcast of the Jan. 20 swearing-in will include flannel pajama bottoms by Eddie Bauer, T-shirt by Hanes, a green plush robe from Big ‘N’ Tall and slippers by Payless Shoes.

While the bill would allow for such burials, the leash law would still apply.
