« Crockpot recipe: Frozen pot roast with Jack Daniel's | Main | Greater City: Providence launches Tuesday with a public meeting »

February 25, 2007

Links: Follies review; Thurmonds owned Sharpton slaves; Seymour Hersh; Weird Florida; Dead Cash most awesome; Woman wins top tech award...

Good, Clean Fun at Feb, 2007 Newspaper Guild Follies: Pollster Darrell West covers the Journal union's annual fundraiser that went down Friday night at the Venus de Milo. That's a switch.

Sharpton, Thurmond linked by slavery. Seems Coleman Sharpton was a Thurmond slave. Oops.

News too: Liz Donovan blogs Dave Barry's hunt for the South Florida Giant Underground Weirdness Magnet, whose latest joke is the wacky judge that Anna Nicole's corpse drew -- a former New York taxi driver with an international audience at last.

Liz also draws together links around UK withdrawal and our veterans failed, to which I would add one more: Disgusting treatment for those to whom we owe so much by Joseph L. Galloway, McClatchy's distinguished military affairs writer.

Journalism: The Redirection by Seymour M. Hersh in the current New Yorker: "Is the Administration’s new policy benefitting our enemies in the war on terrorism?"

Last straw? US generals ‘will quit’ if Bush orders Iran attack. London Times.

Noticed: allen.jpgFirst woman named Turing award winner: Frances Allen, retired from IBM, wins the top tech award. From that first link,

Now 74, Allen spent her entire career at IBM, winning several of the company's top awards. In 1968, she won an corporate award for her research. The prize: a pair of cufflinks and a tie clip.

Brainy: Why Americans Don't Like Jazz. Do you hear the words or the music? At dyske.com

Peaked early: Marc Andreessen Switches to a Mac: At GigaOm. Andreesen, who wrote the original Mosaic browser while a student at the University of Illinois, and later turned it into Netscape Navigator while he was still in college, has switched.

Rolling log: The 50 Most Awesomely Dead Rock Stars. At Blender. Johnny Cash beats out Elvis for posthumous glory.

Short: Reviewing the Presidential Campaign Websites. A /. journal.

Sullying our good name: Hatred of America unites the world

Syntax: The Ten Habits of Emotionally Intelligent People. How to communicate and not be crazy.
