Possible Title: Saturday “29”

Good Ones:
Virtually done deal?   ESALE [internet activity is sometimes referred to as “virtual” though I don’t know why --- perhaps it comes from computer gaming, etc.]
High overhead business?   AIRLINE [indeed]
Bum wrap   DIAPER [guess you have to know the idiom of the British]

By the Way:
Crossing two old pop songs, LOLA and LOVIN, might be a bit unsporting.

Some Nits to Pick:
Backs up   CONDONES [The verb means to accept as all right, passive, rather than to back up, which is more active support.  I may think the president’s reaction to the terrorists is all right, but that does not mean I actively back him on it.]

RATING:   ;D ;D Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
