Well, I followed the directions at that site, which FWIW, did not work 
the first time I put it in my sources.list a week+ back up the log, but 
all I had to do was uncomment it again and it worked just fine in 
synaptic too.  So its in, and running fairly well.

CBS is being snotty and won't show me some things unless I disable ALL 
the blockers.  Thats their choice, and its my choice to leave privacy 
badger enabled.

I am getting more and more of my news from non-mainsleaze sites anyway.

Too bad al-jezzera.America  had to fold up their tent and go away, that 
was about as unbiased a news site as we had.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
