  • Op-Ed Columnist – The Wizard of Beck – NYTimes.com – They pay more attention to Rush’s imaginary millions than to the real voters down the street. The Republican Party is unpopular because it’s more interested in pleasing Rush’s ghosts than actual people. The party is leaderless right now because nobody has the guts to step outside the rigid parameters enforced by the radio jocks and create a new party identity. The party is losing because it has adopted a radio entertainer’s niche-building strategy, while abandoning the politician’s coalition-building strategy.

Daily Links for August 9th

All excerpts are quoted from the respective link(s).

  • The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan: Murdoch and Sirius [and Howard Stern] – Says a reader: How did he go from a must-hear personality who was constantly in the news for his antics or his outrageousness to a "whatever happened to?" has been? Simply, he was put behind a pay wall. Oprah has her own channel, but I've never heard it mentioned. If the King of All Media and a woman who has enough influence to swing a national election can't get people to pay, why on earth does Murdoch think he can?

Daily Links for December 17th

  • Black September | The Big Picture – September 2008 marked the beginning…
  • Robert Reich’s Blog: And Now Deflation – The good news is that all this price cutting is helping average people at a time when wages and benefits, and jobs, are also being cut. The bad news is it's also cutting deep into producer profits, causing them to cut even more jobs and wages. The big danger is it may cause some consumers to delay purchases, thinking they can get a better deal when prices drop further. That's a self-fulfilling prophesy. If more and more consumers take this view, sellers will have to reduce prices further to get them to buy now. That may sound good until you realize it means more layoffs, and more cuts in wages and benefits.

The Parapsychology of the Mashup

I even have false memories of "mashing up" GI Joes by switching the torsos, legs, and heads, sometimes in the face of gender norms as well as that of Cobra Commander.

I don’t think they were false memories, I remember doing this as well. There are entire online communities devoted to it.

There’s something deeply satisfying about using different things, combining them, and creating something divergent and interesting. It’s hard wired into our brains retinas, afterall, so why not our ears.
