Online "Comparing a McDonald's Happy Meal toy to an irresistible centerfold, Center for Science in the Public Interest Executive Director Michael F. Jacobson today announced a lawsuit against the fast-food giant for marketing to children." -- And who gets sued next...Chuck E. Cheese, Toys R Us, or your local pediatrician?

L-E headline/story: "Obama says he shares goals with US business chiefs * Some of the executives are Obama backers and members of White House advisory boards who have worked with the administration for some time. * But there are past critics in the group, too. Jeff Immelt, chief executive of General Electric, has complained that "government and entrepreneurs are not in sync." And he has called for progress in shaping an energy policy. "Our policy is uncertainty," he said in June." -- Jeffrey Immelt was the lead dog on potUS Imam-a's transition team! Immelt rode his position of influence hard to push GE's 'green' light bulbs, and by the time he recognized Imam-a for what he is, Immelt had already helped sink us. I no longer buy anything from GE, and judging by the number of competing light bulbs from other manufacturers, I'd say many others are boycotting GE light bulbs, hence Immelt's flip-flop.

While I basically agree with the Editorial in today's L-E, I noticed that it was not 'signed' as by whom it was penned by. New policy or just an omission?

Kudos for Mark (a.k.a. 'Dre') LeGree! First defensive player ever to be named a Walter Camp All-American for 3 years.
