In other news today, the US says China is not near actual possession of a stealth plane. Personally, the pictures they released just look like the Hot Wheels planes that Mattel makes over there, plus a few unusual decals. It was probably less wise to announce that you were close to making one than to just leave it up to speculation as to whether or not you already had one. Just saying.
Starbucks changed their logo in announcement of other future products other than coffee. Don't they do that already?
And finally there was an article on today about the censorship of Mark Twain. Personally, the idea of a censored Mark Twain is about as boring as listening to Eminem after being cleaned up for radio. And at least Mark Twain abstains from foul language. In fact, I would argue that Huck Finn really wasn't about racism as a topic of priority in the first place. It's more of a fun adventure for a kid who discovers the real complexity and oxymorons of the world around him. Speaking of the great Mark Twain, I received the first volume of his autobiography for Christmas, so I'll keep you apprised of how that pans out. It's soon on my reading list.
