Sign Language
It looks like English... But not quite.
Perhaps a remedial course is in order.
In 2007, Jeff Deck went on a mission to correct glaring errors on America’s public signs. Armed with markers, chalk and correcting fluid, Deck and fellow grammar warriors fixed signs across the country. Along the way, they encountered resistance, indifference, enthusiasm and even the long arm of the law. Deck and co-author Benjamin Herson speak about their new book “The Great Typo Hunt: Two Friends Changing the World, One Correction At A Time.”

Bullying Out of Bounds

He lay in a black body bag at the end of the dock at the Columbia University boathouse... The cops began the task of determining if he was the Rutgers student who jumped off the George Washington Bridge last week after two tormentors used a hidden camera to live-stream his sex life.
The body looked about the right age and had clearly been in the water for a number of days.
The hair was the right sandy color though a little longer than in a photograph the police had on hand. A check of the pockets yielded no identification, but 18-year-old Tyler Clementi had left his wallet on the walkway before he leapt.
Too bad the cops could not have brought the tormentors out onto the dock and unzipped the bag and asked if this was the wonderful young man they pushed to the point he leapt.
There have always been cruel kids who like to pick on the vulnerable, but only recently have the tools of cyberspace given them such power.
They can shame and humiliate on a scale as big as the Internet itself. Bullying has no bounds. Viciousness can go viral.

The agent took an aggressive posture toward his colleagues:
"Hey, if you think that most real estate agents can do all of the same things to sell your home or to assist you in buying the home you desire--you're right!And Rich had an unusual way of attracting attention to himself:
But most real estate agents don’t do all they can!"

Tan, But No Plan
America, We Have A Problem... Or Millions
Voters are pissed. Victims of economic upheaval are starving for solutions. And what gets served up as a "Pledge To America"? Stale ideas, empty calories and cheap starchy filler... All spiced up with voodoo economics, a staple in the political pantry for 30 years, and voters who can remember 1968 might recall an aftertaste of Richard Nixon's "secret plan" to end the Vietnam War.
So... You buying anything from the same old used car salesmen?
Turns out the current recession has much the same effect on incomes as prosperity... The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the gap between the two grows ever wider. Not all boats rise with the tide.

Blown Out & Glassy
Would you believe "The King of Surf Guitar" comes from Boston Harbor? A place with plenty of water & not a decent curl in sight.
Dick Dale's musical influences come from a rather unconventional mix of sounds, including crashing waves, wild animal roars and folk songs from decades prior. Its from these sounds that he's crafted some of his most popular songs, many of which can be found on his new compilation album, Guitar Legend: The Very Best Of Dick Dale.

GOP'S Pledge To America Takes A Right Cross
You'd expect left jabs, because nothing in it would appeal at all to Democrats... But House Republican leader John Boehner's two-point prescription for our economic ills: freeze current tax rates and cut government spending... Is taking hits from heavyweights on the right, too. Is a solution really that simple? Or is the gimmick that simplistic? To find out Guy Raz broke it down with Reagan era Office of Management and Budget director David Stockman.
