The big shots at ABC have censored a line from Tim Allen's sitcom, Last Man Standing. His character, a conservative, tries to convince his daughter to vote for Romney, saying: "Obama is a communist." This is the same network that broadcast a show called Good Christian Bitches for an entire season before cancelling it. Several years ago, one of its execs questioned a scene from Desperate Housewives wherein Eva Longoria's character had sex with a 16-year-old. He asked: "Should she be smoking?"
Battery maker A123, which received a 249 million dollar loan from the Obama administration, has declared bankruptcy, losing out to other producers. Fortunately, it has used "only" 130 million of it. There is a glut of batteries on the market, as sales of electric cars has been lagging. The President's goal was to have a million electric cars on the road by 2015. Current estimates predict 400,000. They just aren't practical for the average consumer. That doesn't mean research should cease, but, in the meantime, drilling for oil should be increased. In a related story, a London newspaper has published an article on the findings of a group of British scientists that states there has been no uptick in global warming from 1997-2012. Of course, other scientists labelled the data flawed.
Despite brilliant sunshine, it was a lot colder than I expected today. Fortunately, several people bought books. And no sooner had the elderly, hand-holding Russian couple that has donated so many books to the floating book shop give me six more than Lev showed and snapped up four of them. Spasibo, folks.
