I've still got work to do on this site. Slowly but surely. In the meantime...
ON TMV TODAY:
- On South Dakota's unbelievable new abortion law -- the law makes doctors give information that is medically untrue and unjustified. The Right should keep on winning its victories. The middle is shifting left. They're helping.
- Surge in support for gays serving openly in the military -- evidence of what I just said above.
ON TMV YESTERDAY:
- On Barack Obama, ambition, & the greater good -- On Lizza's New Yorker piece. Obama's good. but I still wonder if history might prove Cory Booker better.
- On Obama & Cleland. And Georgia voting machine fraud -- Obama disinvites Cleland to a fundraiser.
ON TMV SATURDAY
- Jesse Helms' myths. The party was right before it was wrong. -- an excuse to link to The Michelangelo Signorile Show caller claiming in all seriousness that the late senator was a cross-dresser.
- Gas: All Eyes On the Price -- Dan Ariely had an OpEd in the NYTimes on our disproportionate concern w/gas prices. With a couple related links.
OTHER LINKS
- Kevin Kelly: The Three Tails -- VITALLY IMPORTANT!!! KEY CONCEPT!!! The Long Tail needs to be understood differently from the "head" and the "pocket". For the creator it's not about profits -- it's all about connectivity. To the extent that it IS about profits, it's about moving up the tail. I should find the time for a whole post...
- What happens after TV's Mainframe era ends next February? -- WOW! Another post I need to write. The digital switchover will end broadcasting as we know it.
No photos of the new dog yet... Puppy mills are awful! Wikipedia says: The neutrality of that article is disputed. I imagine puppy mill owners have found some way to morally justify what they do. I can't help thinking it has something to do with the Christian notion that humans are God's chosen creatures. (That's why Grandpa John wound up on the site.)
In the town next to me 182 disease-addled purebred dogs were confiscated. Our new dog, Pixel, spent his life in a crate. Not precisely abused -- more neglected -- the repercussions of that are he doesn't know how to interact like a regular dog; can't jump, stand up straight, has no real rear leg muscles, can't run -- and he's an Italian Greyhound!!!
He's adjusting. Photos will come.
