It may be the end of summer here, but the Arab Spring continues as Moammar Gadhafi’s regime has fallen. Yes, last night, um…. Wait a minute<\/a>. OK, so perhaps “fallen” isn’t quite accurate. I blame Obama, whose illegal war wasn’t nearly illegal enough. I guess we’ll just have to let the French clean this mess up. Or the Italians. Isn’t Libya their mess in the first place? <\/p>\n

Bill Moyers is coming back to television<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Bill Moyers says he is returning to public television in January, but he won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be found on the PBS lineup.<\/p>\n

His new hourlong weekly show, called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Moyers & Company,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d will focus on one-on-one interviews with people not often heard on television, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153thinkers who can help us understand the chaos of this time,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Mr. Moyers said in a telephone interview. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to be concerned with the state of democracy and the state of affairs, but we will leave the daily and weekly story to others and try to do the back story.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n[…]
\nEarlier this year, Mr. Moyers, who retired from PBS in April 2010, said he had received $2 million in financing from the Carnegie Corporation of New York for the new show, but PBS had told him it couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t find an appropriate time slot.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, there’s not an hour a week fro Bill Moyers. Wouldn’t wanna bump MotorWeek or anything.<\/p>\n

Speaking of television, watching an hour of teevee takes 22 minutes off your life<\/a>? Since 8 hours of work takes 16 hours off my life, I consider that a pretty good deal. In fact, all else being equal, and crunching the numbers, if I can manage to watch 16 hours of teevee a day (and spend the other 8 sleeping), that means I’ll live 68% longer than I ordinarily would. I think. I’m sure somebody will check my math. Don’t bother to tell me, though, ‘cuz I don’t have time. Life’s too short.<\/p>\n

Especially if you have to go to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
