Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Palin Trademark Refused Because She Forgot To Sign Application – The idea of Sarah Palin “providing motivational-speaking services in the field of life choices” is … disturbing.
- ‘Captain America’ Super Bowl Commercial – Whoa! And … cool!! (More once I mentally digest …)
- Governor Perry to slash child services spending as Texas child poverty hits 24% – But there’s budgets to be balanced! And it’s not like we can ask people to pay taxes for, y’know, takin’ care of needy kids! That’s socialism!
- Reagan administration was number one: Chris in Paris
- Michele Bachmann: I Take My First Breath In The Morning Thinking “Repeal Obamacare” – In the famous words of William Shatner, “Get a life!”
- Class Action Suit Filed Against Jimmy Carter Book – NYTimes.com – Jeez … if we get have class action suits and injunctions against any non-fiction book that someone claims is offensively misrepresenting the facts, we might never have any non-fiction books on contemporary events ever again. Certainly Glenn Beck would be out of the publishing business. Yeesh.
- A Digital Future for the Founding Fathers – NYTimes.com – Most excellent.
- War on science – what else would you call it? – I’m sure if there’s any useful science out there to be done, it will be done by Monsanto, and GE, and … um … the Chinese!
- Media Matters staff: Fox News Radio’s Starnes: “Terrorists And Illegals Have More Rights Than Folks Attending The Super Bowl” – I read this dolt’s Twitter feed to dig into some of the (non-)stories he links to. Aside from a “God bless Ronald Reagan” and a note about how classy a First Lady Nancy was, the man has pretty much zero to say positive about anything. And, apparently, it’s all OBAMA’S FAULT. Yeesh.
- Shake it off, little fella – Mickey Mouse became famous first as an underdog, then as the symbol for something wonderful. But like the Founding Fathers, he pales when there’s no blood beneath the flesh, and his reign as symbolic monarch of the Disney brand as seemed more and more empty as the decades have rolled along. The question is not what can Disney do about it, but whether they will.
