I wonder how many of those protesting Bill O'Reilly's alleged sexual harassment looked the other way when Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton and David Letterman were accused. Expect the attacks against Fox News to pick up steam now that it has caved on this issue. According to radio talk show host Mark Simone, Fox won't change its philosophy much while Rupert Murdoch is alive. Once he's gone and his sons assume control, the tilt left will begin. One is an ardent liberal, the other a moderate, and their wives are both extreme leftists. Fox is sort of like Israel, surrounded on all sides by the enemy. The only other significant conservative media voice, as far as I know, is Breitbart.
Florida officials in two cities are investigating complaints about brown spots on cars, boats, air conditioning units and other objects. In one instance spots went through the clear top coat on the hood of a new SUV, and wouldn't come off. So far no one has reported health issues. It sounds like the basis of a new Stephen King novel.
It was a quiet day at the floating book shop. My thanks to the gentleman who bought five DVD's, and to the one who purchased The Lives of the Great Composers by Harold C. Schonberg. I've received my stipend for the one day I served jury duty - $40. I'd forgotten about it and am surprised it's more than $25. I've also had good news regarding my portfolio. Years ago I bought shares of AOL - too late. Fortunately, it was saved when acquired by Time Warner. I've had an order to sell my 81 shares if it reached $100. It did today. I more than doubled my original stake. Tip money for big traders and the likes of the great Classie Freddie Blassie, but a nice shot in the arm for yours truly. That's one less stock to worry about should the market finally come back to reality.
