Online story: "Former Connecticut senator and one-time presidential contender Chris Dodd has been named chairman and chief executive officer of the Motion Picture Association of America. * Dodd, a Democrat who served five terms in the U.S. Senate from 1981 to 2011 and headed the powerful Senate Banking Committee, said he was "truly excited about representing the interests of one of the most creative and productive industries in America, not only in Washington but around the world." -- Well, as a DUMB&DUMBERat politician, Dodd is certainly well trained at being "creative" (as in 'creating' his own version of reality and truth), but if the MPAA and Hollywood expect him to be 'productive'. Dodd will probably take them down like the way Dodd brought down the mortgage/housing industries.

From the "only in New Jersey department": "Starting this fall, gay, lesbian and transgender students at Rutgers University's New Brunswick campus can choose either male or female roommates under the pilot program. * Heterosexual students will also be permitted to live in rooms with students of the opposite sex. Men and women will share bathrooms. * Rutgers drew scrutiny after freshman Tyler Clementi killed himself days after authorities said his dorm roommate used a webcam to capture Clementi in an intimate encounter with a man." -- Can anyone make heads or tails of any logic that can explain what Rutgers is trying to explain? Haven't men 'always' been roomies in college dorms, and women, too? I just want to know how many parents are going to enjoy footing the Rutgers' bill knowing their daughters are going to share dorm bathrooms with men.

Online story: "After two years of steadily rising commodity prices, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke finally admits to it. Quoted in Bloomberg/Businessweek in his testimony before Congress Bernanke said: "Sustained rises in the price of oil or other commodities would represent a threat both to economic growth and to overall price stability, particularly if they were to cause inflation expectations to become less well anchored." -- Well, I'll be.... Guess Bernanke's wife sent him to the grocery store, and he found out a loaf of bread cost $4.19.
