KQED on the radio: “Gilmore Girls” series finale coming soon. Discussion on the behind-the-scenes drama (contractual disagreements) that threw a curve ball at the narrative of the show.

Then, President Bush’s address to reporters, his attempts to get greenhouse gas emissions decrease and then, to later, completely disappear.

A bumper sticker on a truck:
