Plotting against moose and squirrel, no doubt: A Russian aircraft company is now denying reports made by a Los Angeles lawyer that it planned to bid on the Air Force tanker contract coveted by Boeing.
The lawyer insists he’s not making things up, but he should have known something was up when he looked over designs for the Russians’ proposed tanker and noticed it was a series of planes, each smaller than the next, that nested one inside the other.
Oh, they got it: A Southern California couple who bragged on the “Dr. Phil” show that they made $100,000 by selling shoplifted toys on eBay were sentenced to prison Monday.
Going on the show wasn’t a complete loss for the couple, however: Dr. Phil gave them each a copy of his book, “Life Strategies,” with its Life Law No. 1: You either get it or you don’t.
Search for “totalitarian”: Following an impasse with China, Google Inc. has stopped censoring Internet searches for China and moved its search engine to Hong Kong.
China could retaliate and shut down access to Google as it already has for Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, leaving the Chinese with only one Nigerian e-mail scam to pass back and forth for entertainment.
