Folks here at BLD have been experimenting with time travel on the web. We managed to capture bits of a transcript of a year 2012 NBC newscast by Tom Brokaw (I guess his recent retirement did not sit well with him).
TB: The US military confirmed that 7 American soldiers were killed in Iraq today. This brings the total number of US service people killed in Iraq to 19 758.
TB: President Jeb Bush today confirmed that it will demand that UN ban any member counrty from selling Elizabeth Taylor videos to North Korea. This is in retaliation for nuking a Japanese row boat in international waters. North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, Taylor's biggest fan, was deeply depressed over this but American made Prozac has eased some of his discomfort.
TB: Here in New York today Mayor Hillary Clinton announced that I95, once one of the east coast's major motorways, will be reduced to 2 lanes within 50 miles of downtown to make way for more community gardens. Cyclists are expected to demonstrate against this measure tomorrow night at Times Square. Cycling advocate Dan Archibald complained that since the last gas crisis more and more roadway has been given away to local farmers and community gardens. Mayor Clinton responded to the criticism through her office saying, "That if New Yorkers want food on their tables they must be prepared to give up I95. It is not as if any food can be trucked to New York".

Not really. How will you feed cities if no one can afford to drive? We will end up having to grow our foodstuffs inside our city. First our parks will go followed by our streets. Doug L. can expand on the idea more. - D
