OK, so now I’ve done it again two days in a row:
- Court Strikes Down FCC’s Indecency Policy (WSJ) — Hey, if I were with the FCC, a decision like this would likely cause me to break out in “fleeting expletives.”
- Crash Data Suggest Driver Error in Toyota Accidents (WSJ) — I’ve never wavered in my faith in Toyota. If ever I could afford a new car, I’d get a Prius, a Camry or a Corolla. Or maybe a Yaris. This news reinforces that, even though there were caveats.
- Benjamin: Cities and counties must cooperate on issues (thestate.com) — New mayor gets busy working on regional cooperation.
- District 2: Low turnout at polls today (thestate.com) — I haven’t paid much attention to this multi-candidate race to replace E.W. Cromartie. The timing has been weird, but I still wish I’d had time to sort through the alternatives. From what little I know, I’m sort of Gary Myers, DeQuincey Newman and Josh Stroman are the strongest candidates. (Strongest in the sense of being people who SHOULD get elected.) But I don’t know, so I haven’t wanted to say.
- BP Prepares To Test New Cap At Gulf Spill Site (NPR) — BP’s probably crossing its fingers, and in this case that’s a GOOD thing.
- George Steinbrenner, Who Built Yankees Into Powerhouse, Dies at 80 (NYT) — Which makes me think of “Seinfeld,” which is probably not fair to the man…

You can buy a used Prius–I love my 2007, my folks love their 2008 and 2009 models. They hold five tall people comfortably, the back seats fold flat for lots of cargo, and if you drive the speed limit, you get about 50 mpg.
What the *—. The FCC slapped down for making rules about indency? How can there actually be rules governing which words can be spoken on TV? There may be justification for graphic sex and violence. But words? Give me a f—-ing break.
While I would prefer that TV generally avoid the more offensive expletives, the bleeps are probably more irritating.
@ Kathryn, re Prius: I couldn’t agree with you more!
