(Note: I just remembered I’d written this post, but never got around to posting it when my net connection came back. C’est la vie.)
There’s over a foot on the ground and it’s still coming. And the net connection is out. So it’s my cue to close some windows, write up some notes, and hope that this posts when I return to the 21st century.
From the Wall Street Journal, a piece on how Valentine’s Day is not only the biggest day of the year for florists, but for private investigators. Via Metafilter. Also from the same article, RevengeLady.com, which reminds me of a business I’d considered starting in college, dealing in revenge-o-grams. That grew out of a minor little fracas I had been asked to help equalize… another time.
We have this story:
Bush seeks to slash public broadcast funds:
WASHINGTON (Hollywood Reporter) – President George W. Bush took a swipe at Big Bird and his ilk Monday as he proposed slashing funds to public broadcasting by more than $150 million.
…which goes along with this picture by way of Warren Ellis.
With all the programs he wants to cut money from, how can anyone still think he has our best interests in mind? Is Bush the new opiate for the masses?
