Band of Brothers in the Pacific

I had previously written about Band of Brothers both here and on Metafilter.

Daily Links for January 29th

  • The South Vs. Obama – The Daily Beast – The votes against Obama’s stimulus package came from a southern confederacy of Republicans and conservative Democrats. Their message to America? Drop dead.
  • Philadelphia Magazine: 1978 Called. It Wants Its Newspaper Back – Ross also adds that in January, Tierney took to patrolling the parking garage, watching to see what time employees were arriving to work and asking managers about those who were late. “That’s what I’m getting calls about now,” says Ross. “He’s walking around the parking garage. If he gets hit by a car, it’ll be his own fault.” Tierney’s ownership group, Philadelphia Media Holdings, stopped making interest payments to its creditors over the summer. Thirty-five further editorial layoffs were announced in December. No one knows what tomorrow will bring — except that some tomorrow could mark the end of Philadelphia’s newspapers.
