Flying low 
| | I'm driving up to San Francisco for OSBC. Back tomorrow. Kind of a whirlwind thing. Wish I'd rememberd to book a flight earlier when it was cheap. Driving is the only choice at this point. At least it's flexible, sort of. |
The legend blogs on
| | Free from the craziness of the 24-hour news cycle (and from some of the reflexes in press think) the blogs, their users, and the links among them work as a second filter added to the news flow. The blog sphere sifts through information, rescuing facts and arguments from the cycle¹s strange habits, while loosening up the lines of debate. |
They only polled the living, but still
Staying in the game
Speaking of (and with) Tony
| | howard stern was right this morning. rolling stone wants to put him on their cover and write about his problems with the fcc and at first he was going to do it, but then he realized that this wasnt His problem, it's Everyones problem. for 20 years hes been doing his show and the public has been eating it up. |
| | nothing that he does is obscene. it's about sex a lot of the times, but that doesnt instantly make it obscene. |
| | the radio waves are the public's airwaves. how public is it when one company owns 80% of it? how public is it when a few republicans are dictating what can be broadcast? how public is it when the number one broadcaster is suddenly deemed obscene the same month he comes out against the president of the united states? |
| | i know a lot of my elected officials read this. |
| | and some officials, like senator clinton read this too. |
| | if you fools dont start fighting the repubs on this issue and on the issue of free speech and of the issue of censorship and of the issue of assholes bulldozing their quote unquote morals all over my shit im going to not only vote them out but vote you out too. |
| | where is the main democratic voice standing up and saying, oh no you didn't! |
Going into business sale
| | The ever-inventive and playful Rei Kawakubo's latest probe into the bleeding edge of the buying psyche. She's just opened this store in Berlin, Germany. It's the first example of provisional retailing by an established fashion house: the store plans to close in one year, even if it's making money. |
