Wanna Know That Dog
BBC | Greece's front-line riot dog
Loukanikos, or Sausage, has been in the centre of the action for years.
Here are some of his most memorable moments, gathered by Newsnight.
Go, Dog, Go!
Zombies!
Real, scary zombies.
I'm away from the computer-- probably being devoured by a zombie. This is a scheduled update. Beep.
Friday, Friday
Going away this weekend-- I won't be posting anything long 'til next week.
Here are some of my favorite pieces from the last few days:
Salon | Scott Adams takes on Salon
This is an ongoing issue: that of Scott Adams being literally garbage. Best case scenario through that exchange, he comes out as a terrible writer and way emotionally stunted.
NY Review of Books | The Busts Keep Getting Bigger: Why?
Paul Krugman and Robin Wells review Age of Greed, a book that I now want. There's also some decent discussion of the financial crisis contained within the review, so, really, it's a two for one deal.
New Yorker | Obama and Gay Marriage
Article calls for Obama to be a good guy. This will not happen, but it's sweet to see.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution | State officials reaping what they have sown
Apparently kicking out the pool of easily-exploitable labor does bad things to our 'standard of living.' It's alright: just jerk people around, push for abolishing the minimum wage, and get some red-blooded American wage slaves!
And to make this a multimedia extravaganza:
Nice. Nice.
Bachmannia
Can Matt Taibbi be a little overwrought sometimes? Maybe.
Does this article rule? Yes.
It could happen. Michele Bachmann has found the flaw in the American Death Star. She is a television camera's dream, a threat to do or say something insane at any time, the ultimate reality-show protagonist. She has brilliantly piloted a media system that is incapable of averting its eyes from a story, riding that attention to an easy conquest of an overeducated cultural elite from both parties that is far too full of itself to understand the price of its contemptuous laughter. All of those people out there aren't voting for Michele Bachmann. They're voting against us. And to them, it turns out, we suck enough to make anyone a contender.
America is doomed. Can we at least get some entertainment out of the whole 'fall of the empire' shtick? Bachmann 2012!
All the Gorey Details + Bernie Beautifully Belittles the Younger Paul
I hate to mention Al Gore and climate change in the same sentence, as the vice-president's name is something of a thought-stopping cliché for ACC denialists, but his essay in Rolling Stone is decent. Imperfect, but decent. Better yet: the comments, Duke! The comments!
Also, Bernies Sanders isn't a Paul kinda guy.
In the sad but highly-representative of the world we live in category, here's a link to the blog Dogs that Cops Killed. Ugh.
Scenes from Hell: RefreshCo Discount Citrus Drink Public School #16
What better way is there to meld molding young minds with making sweet, sweet money?
Blegh
There is totally no way that this information could be used to jack up premiums on people who are too poor to fill their prescriptions at times. No way.
