Futurama, will it be revived?
I for one would be really happy to see it on the air again, regardless of what network carries it!

FORTUNE: Congress botched digital TV
If you can’t afford to go to college because the government cut back on your vouchers, at least you will still be able to watch TV.
To avoid a consumer revolt, Congress has set aside about $1.5 billion to smooth the transition. Owners of outmoded TV sets will be eligible for two vouchers, worth $40 each, to help buy converter boxes that will enable today’s analog TV sets to receive digital signals.
Yes, the very same federal government that is cutting back on college loans and food stamps will soon be issuing TV vouchers.

Florida Weirdness
It seems that folks in Florida are a bit strange. The whole article is funny, but here are a couple of my favorites:
A drunk prosecutor thought it would be funny to streak across a parking lot and hop into a friend’s car. The problem was he jumped naked into the wrong car and was arrested.
Alcohol was at the root of a Jacksonville Halloween night arrest. A partygoer in a Belligerent Drunk Man costume consisting of a blue sweat suit, a belt made out of beer can pop tops and a Superman-style “BDM” emblem on this chest got a few laughs until he actually became a belligerent drunk man and started a fight with the Green Hornet.
And in a rather unusual Tampa area traffic stop, a practical joker put a blue-and-red flashing light on a car dashboard. He stopped laughing, though, after two men he pulled over turned out to be undercover officers. The said they found 7 grams of cocaine alongside the flashing light.
