Three interesting news posts

Good selection of stories on Google News today…
Instead of looking in a pumpkin or candy bag on Halloween, we should look up. Venus and Mars will be visible.
Gas companies profiting hand-over-fist, and ABC analyst defends them. I still stay it’s obscene and the government should do something to make sure the companies aren’t milking the general public while they line their pockets. 33% increase in profits this quarter? Why is the raise at the pump so high if the gas companies aren’t paying more for fuel?
Speaking of companies doing illegal things, SBC is buying AT&T and going to take the AT&T name. It’s interesting to me that not 20 years after Ma Bell was broken up for monopolization violations, the baby Bells have slowly shattered and reconfigured to form a small number of very large Bells, and those are remerging frequently too. And they’re keeping the same pre-split names. Sounds like history repeating itself to me.
