SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:56 P.M. ET: 

HOLLYWOOD SHOWS ITS TRUE COLOR - GREEN - FROM FOX:  The reboot of ABC’s “Roseanne” premiere on Tuesday drew a staggering 18.2 million viewers. Now, another well-known show could be making its way back to television.  According to TMZ, FOX is reportedly considering a reboot of Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing.” The show was canceled last year following rumors that it had to do with Allen’s conservative-leaning beliefs.  The show ran 130 episodes between 2011 and 2017 and centered on the life of Mike Baxtor, a senior employee at a sporting goods store in Denver, Colorado.  In addition to “Last Man Standing,” the show most likely to be revived is “How I Met Your Dad.”  FOX is also reportedly considering reboots of “That 70’s Show” and “Malcolm in the Middle.”  And watch for The Donald Trump Story, with Jane Fonda as Melania.  In Hollywood, if it pays, it stays.

SOMETHING ELSE TO WORRY ABOUT – FROM ABC LOCAL:   A judge ruled that Starbucks and other coffee sellers in California must provide a cancer warning on their products for customers.  A nonprofit group sued several companies that sell coffee, including Starbucks, coffee distributors and retailers in 2010.  The lawsuit claimed those companies violated state law, which requires them to warn consumers about chemicals in the roasting process that may cause cancer. One of those chemicals is acrylamide, which is a carcinogen.  Attorneys for about 90 companies said the chemical is present in the process, but that it's at harmless levels and is outweighed by the benefits of drinking a cup of coffee.  Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle said in a proposed decision that Starbucks and other coffee companies failed to show the threat from that chemical compound was insignificant.   And coffee also is known to cause global warming.  All those home brewers.  They get hot, they get hot

OH REALLY? – FROM DAILY CALLER:   Former Obama administration attorney general Eric Holder speculated this week on what would incentivize him to run for president.  Holder was asked in an interview with the New York Times about running for the highest office in the land. The reporter asked, “If you were gonna do it, why would you do it. If you didn’t do it, why would you not do it?”  Holder said “If I were gonna do it, I’d do it because I would have concluded that maybe I could unify the country… help unify the country.” Holder said he could also “advance” and “repair” the country as president.  Holder said, “I had something to contribute, that would be the thing that would push me toward considering a run.”  I just hear the wanting of Holder, don't you?  It's a murmur, but it's getting louder.  I hear as many as three people.
