Brothers & Sisters: Habitat for Humility
This week on Brothers & Sisters, we learn that some things (major demolition work) are best left to people with lots of experience; some things (running a start-up, becoming an advertising exec) are ideal for passionate newbies; and one thing (taking down your arch-nemesis) is just made for family. Kitty and Robert Robert comes to Kitty bearing information about surrogacy — since Trish flaked, why don’t we go the simple, legally cut-and-dried route of hiring a womb? Then Trish calls Ki

A few links discovered over the past couple of days, not all of them related to journalism. New Game requires New Mindset. One of several recent very smart posts about what newspapers need to do to ensure their futures, from Chuck Peters, the CEO of The Gazette Company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Related: A 2009 Checklist for Newspaper Publishers, another smart post based on a reality check from a long-time newspaperman. Treading water. Zac Echola doesn’t post often, but when he does, his thoughts
Obama Derangement Syndrome Roundup - Part 4
I’ve got a few more bits of Obama Derangement Syndrome to report. Phase One: The Obama Invasion Something called the We The People Foundation (which is definitely going on the ODS watch list) is planning to run an ad in Monday’s Chicago Tribune (and again on Wednesday) that is an open letter to President-Elect Barack Obama, asking him to produce evidence that he is a natural born citizen. They describe it this way: The Open Letter to Mr. Obama is a formal Petition for a Redress (Remedy) for
We Need Innovative Bureaucrats
Gonna combine a couple ideas I have been toying around with in my head the last couple of days. First, if you haven’t heard already, the Drew MySpace trial concluded with a conviction. Its a mixed bag result, but the “jury did find there’s a crime based on accessing a Web site and not following its terms of service.” This woman should be punished, but there is little doubt in my mind that this is a terrible legal outcome which almost certainly must be overturned at some level. Because I think

Reserve Bank Of Zimbabwe Commends The United States
(Alternate caption: HAY US DOOD! MONETARY EASING FTW!!1) No, you didn’t click on The Onion by accident; the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe really did congratulate the United States on their willingness to stuff money into every orifice of the economy (h/t Caroline B for sending the link my way): As Monetary Authorities, we have been humbled and have taken heart in the realization that some leading Central Banks, including those in the USA and the UK, are now not just talking of, but also actually
Sunrise, sunset
Who is this young lady? The one who looks all grown up? The one who makes me think that in just a few years, we will be beating off the boys with sticks? Today was supposed to be our annual trek to the Nutcracker. We were going to take the dotter’s friend K. with us, as well. But yesterday the weather gods decided it was time to dump a big ol’ load of snow on the area, around 12 inches. Now, in Small Mountain University Town, where they regularly get 26-plus inch snows, they have clearin

Not To Put Too Fine A Point On It, Part I
If I were a better blogger I would link everyone who is mentioned below. But I’m going to go with the fact that good karma is on my side right now and know, nay believe, that they will all magically come back to see their questions answered. (Good karma DID come to me yesterday when I mentioned to someone on their blog how talented they were at knitting a pair of fingerless gloves and then she just up and offered them to me! I hope good karma comes back to her and she gets a sparkly pink tiara.
