Somewhere I ran across an ad last night for a PBS program series called Wide Angle. It’s a series of international current affairs documentaries and, this year, will be hosted by Aaron Brown. It looks as if the documentaries will each be available for web viewing, too. So. After a two and a half year stint of teaching, Aaron Brown is contractually freed to begin broadcasting again. Very excellent news.

Unnaturally natural

This evening I was in the grocery store and passed by a display of Ocean Spray’s Craisons—sweetened dried cranberries. The packaging is really quite eye catching. I stopped to take a look and then did a double-take. One of the packages said Sweetened Dried Cranberries. Cherry Flavor.

The package claimed that the ingredients are all natural. Nothing artificial.

Now what could possibly be more natural than a cherry flavored cranberry, I ask you?
