The next big area for Liability Suits. Cable TV. Hey, they are forcing me to watch six hours of Football today.

Channeled blame
Washington Times, by Larry Elder

Accusing his cable company of "addicting" him, his wife and his kids to TV, a Wisconsin man threatened to sue Charter Communications. Tim Dumouchel of Fond du Lac said his family's viewing habits — forced on him by cable TV — caused his wife to become overweight and his children to grow lazy.

Sharon Backs Diplomat Who Damaged Exhibit


Good for Arik Sharon. I'm tired of hearing, "but it's a work of art!" So was The Triumph of the Will. That was a even a better work of art too. This piece was borrowed from the ayatollah's idea of art in Iran - fountains flowing with red liquid, glorifying the "glorious martyrs". Once art takes up the job of propaganda it should lose its immunity from protest.
