No need to worry about those tighter regulations - I'm sure oil companies will be able to get around them in return for a few thousand bucks in campaign contributions. (Or they can take it to court on the grounds that it impedes their freedom of speech as individuals somehow...)
Minor news, yes, about insipid tv shows, but a good reminder ... "Mediocrity Exists, and It Will Try to Choke You to Death If You Give It Half a Chance". Why does anyone [with a brain] watch that stuff?!!
You guys missed this story: an Alabama (surprise!) teacher got a talking to by the secret service because he used the assassination of President Obama as an example for a geometry lesson. By the way, he is NOT getting fired, which is ridiculous. I'm sure if a student said something similar he would be gone quickly.
Oh and this guy, now running as a Republican in MA for the House, was involved in several cases of strip searching TEENAGE girls. He was a police officer and was the supervisor of the cop who went to prison for the indecent assault. What a creep!

What, do you think we can keep using shooting MLK for that lesson forever?
Quote of the day. Thanks for that.
