Wow. I hadn't realized that Reading Rainbow, the PBS show hosted by LeVar "Geordi LaForge" Burton, has been going on for twenty years. I remember that show from when I was a kid... And now it's in danger of going off the air if additional funding cannot be found. Full story at cnn.com. Any wealthy philanthropists out there willing to help our kids keep reading?

(Interesting element of note: there's not a single Star Trek reference on that page. Kudos to Mr. Burton for nurturing such a broad career.)
