Some Sunday morning reading to share.
LOLCats make the Wall St. Journal. I guess this is a harbinger of the end of the trend. The phenomenon is cute, clever, and silly and now that it has crossed over to the main stream will slowly die out.
A very interesting read about Dr. Anna Pou, who was accused of murdering patients during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. A grand jury refused to indict. Now she speaks out. As complex and thought provoking as that entire disaster and everything associated with it was and still is.
Bad Sinatra or The Gillmor Gang, take your pick the surrealism is at times worthy of Beckett, at times as inconsequential as a grade school clique, and perhaps the original inspiration behind LOLCats. Steve Gillmor is gesturing at some form of resurgence of "the Gang." I just wonder if they'll wear bowlers.
Newsweek runs a long story on the fact that we haven't caught Bin Laden yet. Full of woulda, coulda, shoulda, the article completely glosses over the real issues, focusing on the many canards we can all recite, like the terrain is too difficult. Give me a break. It hasn't yet served our purpose to get the guy. If it did, the Democrats would make a bigger issue of it in the campaign.
Speaking of Democrats or is that LOLdemocats? Proving once again just how feckless they are, and just how Bad Sinatra-ish our election system is, the Democrats are fighting with each other in Florida over when to hold the primary.
Congrats to Kent Newsome for joining the blogging team of Dave Wallace and Mike Seyfang on the Extraordinary Everday Lives Show podcast.
