Links You May Have Missed, But Probably Would Like To See, If Only You Knew About Them

These are for me as much as you. I'll thank me later. Mostly from Twitter.

Via Freeman Hunt : The blog of Milton Friedman's "Free To Choose" PBS series. Funny that for all the PBS crap I got shown in school, this wasn't among the viewing options.

Via Andy Levy via Allahpundit: Face transplant story with pictures. Amazing.

More on the voucher situation from the WSJ: "If, however, you are a pol who piously tells inner-city families that public schools are the answer -- and you do this while safely ensconcing your own kids in some private haven -- the press corps mostly winks."

Also, today is not the day where I wish I sent my kids to public school.

27% of all marketers suck? Sounds a little low to me.

Funny and short: Why copywriters should be native speakers.

Cringely talks about the future of television on the Internet. It's interesting.

Hot: Bill Whittle schools John Stewart on the history behind Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The beauty of being a useful idiot is that you never have to research and you never have to say you're sorry. Because, damn the facts, you're right, and Harry Truman was a war criminal.

Lastly, Tabitha Hale aka Pink Elephant Pundit has started doing a radio show/podcast/audio blog/whatever the hell the kids these days are calling it. Episode One is here. I was going to listen to it, but there's, like, the entirety of "Walk This Way" at the front and that used up any time I had, plus confused me.

  1. You're being too hard on Johnnie Stewart. He's just a comedian, except when he isn't.

    His shtick is to make political statements and then, if wrong, hide behind the clown makeup - "Hey, I'm just Joke Boy"

    Clown nose on, Clown nose off - as convenient.

  3. I never went on Twitter. I did however used to spend a lot of time on the porno message site Twatter.

    Of course I was single then.

  4. Thanks for the Bill Whittle link. I've only had time to watch half of it and it was fascinating.
