Things I’d Like to Post About Today ….. (120808, Morning)
….. But I Don’t Have Any Time For:
Had a bit of a personal emergency last night and this morning, so this will be brief and may be my last of the day:
- Michelle Malkin has detected the early makings of a bailout of failing newspapers in Connecticut (here and here) and elsewhere. Mark I. Pinsky at the New Republic (HT P.J. Gladnick at NewsBusters) has proposed a bailout program for out of work journalists: Have them work for Uncle Sam. Oh (Big) Brother.
- I see Bill Ayers is still at it, and, so predictably, the Rev. Wright has returned. By all means, hang around, guys. Maybe the electorate will associate your “God Damn America” views with Barack Obama’s, as they should have done before the election, and would have if the media had cared enough to note the connections.
- “The Cincinnati Zoo has canceled a joint ticket promotion with the nearby Creation Museum in (Northern) Kentucky, which presents the Bible’s version of natural history.” The Zoo knew what the Museum was all about from the get-go, and the pullback happened so quickly that I don’t believe it was backed by a legitimate groundswell of protest. I suspect that someone at the Zoo did the deal for the express purpose of dissing the Museum when the (fully-expected and perhaps coordinated?) outcry ensued.
- Something is not right here (related blog post) — both the news itself and how invisible it is.
- Nah, there’s no War on Christmas (/sarc).
This is why we go south to the Creation Museum vs. west to the demilitarized “zoo-ne” every time our budget allows for a field trip.
