Here are some of the contenders for today's biggest...news...of...the...day...

• Details on Microsoft's (MSFT) earnings report...
• Better-than-expected earnings from Sun Microsystems (SUNW)...
• A weak-than-expected GDP that showed growth slowed to its lowest level in more than three years...
• Upbeat comments about the economy as it is said - "Real estate and home building are struggling but most other sectors seem set to ride out the storm..."
• Better-than-expected earnings from McAfee Inc. (MFE)...
• Some upbeat comments [subscription required] on Dell as it is said - "Even if it takes a few years for the Dell portrait to gain in beauty, the stock itself could turn around much quicker if investors feel the worst part of the story is over..."

While those are all stories worth watching, I think it is obviously clear that the biggest story is - Heavier drivers seen using more gasoline...aside from the disturbing picture featured in the article, I think this is the biggest story because it suggests what the investments of the future are - McDonald's (MCD) and Exxon Mobil (XOM)...it is the perfect lethargy play!
