Aug. 15: Imus, Trans-Fat and I-95

*You go, Kia
Rutgers University student Kia Vaughn, a member of the
women’s basketball team insulted earlier this year by
radio host Don Imus, has sued Imus and his then-radio
host CBS for slander and defamation. This comes the
day after Imus and CBS reached a settlement that will,
unfortunately for good taste, allow him to come back
somewhere else.
Go, Kia!

*Fie on trans fats?
OK, this banning trans fats thing is getting a little
ridiculous:

Should there be a federal ban by now? Don’t people
understand that those who eat fried foods do so
because they want to?

*Accident on I-95
Only in Florida can our public officials be
short-sighted enough (yes, other words do come to
mind) to approve something like this without taking
the time to improve public transportation:

It won’t solve anything. It will only make the
bottleneck worse on 95 and make life tougher for
working-class drivers who can’t afford to cough up the
HOV fee.
