See what you might have looked like 50 years ago.
Bacon has jumped the shark?
datn:
Tumblr bacon back lash! Note maximum density of catchphrases like “X is the new Y” and “jump the shark”. … Oops.
Well GOOD. It’s about time. Of course, there’s no reason to expect that the next hot food (um, you know what I mean) will be any less ubiquitous and annoying.

Whoa, excellent! This was much faster than the 400 or so years it took them to forgive Galileo. They’re getting better. Now if we could only talk them out of that Pope Pius thing.

“Thanksgiving is next week, and President Bush could make it a really special holiday by resigning. Seriously. We have an economy that’s crashing and a vacuum at the top. Bush — who is currently on a trip to Peru to meet with Asian leaders who no longer care what he thinks — hasn’t got the clout, or possibly even the energy, to do anything useful. His most recent contribution to resolving...
The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time →
Among other things to like about this list, it places Bob Dylan at number 7. The placement, and the mini-essay about Dylan by Bono, is a good antidote to some of the morons I’ve been reading recently on the comment board of Radio Paradise, who like to screech about how Dylan’s songs are too repetitive and he can’t sing worth shit anyhow. (I mean, I have no problem with not caring...

shadowfirebird:
‘Free To Be… You and Me was one of my favorite movie/record/books when I was growing up. Marlo Thomas’s 1972 project brought together an all-star cast to perform songs, poems and sketches that challenged gender stereotypes and delivered a fundamentally humane, loving message about being who you are and not being constrained by society’s expectations. ‘
Also, if you follow the...

Obama's First Pardon

innonate:
Obama’s first pardon of his Presidency — that of Senator Joe Lieberman for his support of McCain and under-bus-throwing of Obama — landed with a thud on the blogs yesterday.
But, that Senate Democrats allowed Lieberman to keep his Chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee caused an uproar among the liberal bloggosphere yesterday is not surprising.
Time and...
Stevens Loses in Senate Race, Tally Indicates →
“Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, convicted last month on federal ethics charges, lost his bid for a seventh term as final ballots were counted on Tuesday, giving Democrats at least 58 seats in the Senate for the first years of the Obama administration.”

You know Newt is one of those guys that likes to prance around in his wife’s lingerie when no one’s around. He shouldn’t be left unsupervised at the petting zoo, either.

catbus:
Hyperbole is not harmless; careless language bewitches the speaker’s intelligence. And falsely shouting “socialism!” in a crowded theater such as Washington causes an epidemic of yawning. This is the only major industrial society that has never had a large socialist party ideologically, meaning candidly, committed to redistribution of wealth. This is partly because...
“What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it ?”
– C’est la question ouverte qu’Edge a posée en 2005 à 120 grands esprits (intellectuels et scientifiques) de notre temps. Le résultat est fascinant: un mélange explosif d’imagination, de culture et d’humilité. Pour Mark Morford du San Francisco Chronicle: “The world’s finest minds have responded with...
