Had a nightmare last night that Yellow found this blog. Really must rein in my work posts. I have a history of prescient dreaming.

I’ve been keeping up with Jeff Jarvis over at buzzmachine and his research into complaints about television programming, FCC censorship, and the like. What’s interested me about it is just how few crazies it takes to freak out networks, sponsers, and get television shows slapped with FCC fines. Just how few does it take? In

Health experts say women and older adults should eat about 1,600 calories a day. Children and men should add 400 calories to that, while teenage boys and very
