Wow, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s cold open poking fun at the CBS Evening News was a shot across the bow. Of course, there’s beef with his show getting canned, despite being number one in the ratings, but I’m sure some of this is because of how the network also canned his good friend, John Dickerson, the previous host of the Evening News.

And yes, that was the same broadcast that ended in a medical emergency.

David Letterman was Colbert’s guest last night. Dave revived one of his old bits by throwing stuff off the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater, but it was with Colbert’s studio furniture. That’s why you see them sitting in the audience in this photo. Gosh, I’m going to miss that show. I’ve watched it almost daily since Dave started in on my birthday in 1993.

So many locals are ticked off at this. It’s almost like the day when Big Tex went up in flames.

The concept envisions connecting locations such as Sacramento, the Bay Area, Los Angeles and San Diego through dedicated freeway lanes, transit hubs and long-distance express bus service.

“Long-distance travel by bus could become an attractive and affordable way to go between California metropolitan areas,” said Ryan Snyder of Caltrans.

Researchers are also examining international examples, including South Australia’s Adelaide O-Bahn busway system and the Netherlands’ Superbus prototype, as part of the study into what could work in California.
