Linkage
I rarely have time to write a full post these days, but I still read my Bloglines feeds and do a little browsing here and there. I always find stories that don’t merit a full post, or aren’t related to the main themes of this blog, but are interesting nevertheless. So each day I’ll be posting some links to funny/insightful/stupid things that I’ve recently read. Here’s a couple to get us started. Once I find an easier way to blog my surfing, I’ll have much longer lists.
Newsweek, Free Speech Under Siege by George Will (so true…):
So Rep. Jeb Hensarling, a 48-year-old Texan, tried riding to the rescue. Hensarling is a Republican, which means next to nothing nowadays, but also a libertarian, which means he believes, as Republicans once did, in limited government.
MTV.com, 50 Cent news (G-Unit!):
50 thinks the president is “incredible … a gangsta.” “I wanna meet George Bush, just shake his hand and tell him how much of me I see in him,” 50 told GQ. If the rapper’s felony conviction didn’t prevent him from voting, 50 said he would have voted for Bush.
Berkeley LiveJournal, thread about this homeless-mocking t-shirt (my friend also wants that shirt):
watchmespin: you do understand that many of the homeless in berkeley are products of the reagan era and are not stupid kids too proud to go back home to mommy and daddy, right?
oomfufu1202: Yet another cheap shot at Reagan. I’ll be sure the Cal Patriot hears of this…
When talking about the mentally ill on the streets, cheap shots at Reagan aren’t that cheap.
