Bush to Say 'America Is Addicted to Oil' in Talk
Hampered by huge budget deficits and an unpopular war, President Bush will seek to take charge of the election-year agenda Tuesday by declaring America must break its dependence on Mideast oil and calling for training 70,000 math and science teachers to improve the nation's competitiveness.
"America is addicted to oil which is often imported from unstable parts of the world," Bush is expected to say.
Is it just me, or is being lectured by a Texas oilman about an addiction to oil a little like your friendly neighborhood crack dealer saying you should probably keep an eye on your cocaine consumption?

BREAKING NEWS - WORLD BLOG EXCLUSIVE - ESPN HOLLYWOOD CANCELED
According to sources close to the production, a team of ESPN executives from the East Coast informed the staff of ESPN Hollywood this morning (January 17th) that the show was being canceled, effective January 27th.
The decision to pull the plug on the show, ESPN's half-hour daily look at the world of sports and entertainment, comes at an odd time, following reports of improving ratings and increased access to the insular world of show business. With Super Bowl XL, one of the largest annual intersections of sports and celebrity, set for February 5th, and the beginning of Hollywood's annual "awards season," it would seem to be the best time of year for such a show. However, insiders speculate that the show fell out of favor with ESPN's new regime. Mark Shapiro, the former EPSN executive who championed the show, left the cable network in October, 2005, to become C.E.O. of Red Zone, LLC, a company owned by Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder.
