Few have been spared the satire of Matt Groening's long running animated sitcom. Last night, The Simpsons took on Apple, or uh, Mapple for a full 6 minutes of lampoonery -- a pretty harsh ride at a two-joke per minute pace. It all starts when the Springfield mall gets its very own Mapple store, "it's so sterile," gasps Lisa (Read More)

President-elect Barack Obama wants the nation to derive 10 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2012, up from 2 percent today. That comes on top of the global push for green power, making wind and solar power companies a good bet.

: Aside form pledges of developing renewable energy Obama has also the main goal of providing high standard education for all American kids; this is the reason why he doesn’t allow parents to use public school money for private school. One of the key ingredients to the success of a modern nation is education. America has recently had a presidential election, and education is a key issue. President-elect Barack Obama already has some ideas. According to this article, he wants to take a good look at the No Child Left Behind act. He doesn’t want to get rid of it altogether, but he does want reform, especially when it comes to the subject of standardized testing, and he is against having students “fill in bubbles” every year, and preparing them to only do so. Both he and Vice president-elect Joe Biden are both supporters of charter schools, provided they perform adequately. Teachers at private and charter schools will be in line for incentives such as the Teacher Service Scholarships, and pay bonuses and increases to perform to standards. He also wants to boost Early Head Start programs and give tax credits (or as he calls it the “American Opportunity” credit) for college education and these things are all at the forefront of his education plan. Repairing faith in America’s schools, and therefore the credit repair of the American workforce, is something that is definitely desirable.

Michael Kinsley suggested that President-elect Barack Obama may be fibbing about giving up cigarettes and said we should "offer him a light and look the other way" ["Let the Guy Smoke," op-ed, Nov. 20]. Mr. Kinsley may have said this in jest, but it's no joke that smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in this co (Read More)
