Links that I’m reading/watching/listening to/thinking about

  • Terrorism

    “Four held in Dublin over international terrorism.” EEK!

  • Blair

    It seems I’m not the only one who thinks Tony Blair kicks ass. I’d vote for ‘im. 🙂

    And who else thinks it’s ridiculous that a third of Americans can’t identify the leader of our nation’s biggest ally??

  • Osama excuse

    Steve calls out all the companies using the “Osama Excuse” to explain bad performance and profits. They actually trotted that one out to us last week during the whole redundancy crisis. After the meeting (where it was mentioned twice), I asked someone else who’d been there what effect the tragedy could possibly have had on our business. We couldn’t come up with anything.

  • Sadness

    Damn The Onion. I actually feel sad for the Yoplait billboard!

  • Ebert

    I’ve been on a Roger Ebert craze lately. I just like the way the man writes. He’s also redeemed himself in my eyes a little bit with this article on the Internet.

    “The Internet is in economic crisis, but its brilliance and audacity continue to amaze me. The stories of its decline are stories about money, not technology or communication. If millions of investors felt compelled to throw their cash insanely at Internet investments that made zero economic sense, is that an indictment of the Internet, or a demonstration that they were greedy herd animals?”

    I’ll be so happy once the Net returns to the “everybody giving away something for free” model and all the capitalist pigs go home. (That’s a bit extreme, but I’m enjoying the fact that I can now make such statements without being a dotcom-working latte-sipping hypocrite.) 🙂

  • Ebert

    Some readers call out Roger Ebert for ripping on Zoolander.

  • Ebert

    That bug seems to be still firmly lodged up Ebert’s ass. This week he rips on John Cusack’s new film.

  • Fundies

    How well do you know your fundamentalist hate-mongers? Take the Falwell-Robertson-Bin Laden Quiz. I only got 8 out of 20 correct. On the page with the answers, be sure to read the context of the very last one. I couldn’t believe it. (Link courtesy of Steve.)

  • Yikes

    Wow. You know that Greyhound bus crash this week, where the driver’s throat was slashed? He survived. I thought he was one of the six who died. That’s amazing.

  • Noxema Girl

    This is the first Rebecca Gayheart article I’ve read that didn’t refer to her as the “Noxema girl”. Unfortunately this incident didn’t do a lot to dispel my image of her as your average Hollywood airhead bimbo.
