mullah2_wideweb__470x3822Sorry for the absence. I was on vacation this weekend (including Monday) and got back to work to find a mountain of things waiting to be done. It struck me earlier that I started a blog called “Politics and Communication” and then left a picture of Gaius Baltar on the front page for it’s inaugural weekend. Here is what I didn’t have time to blog about today:

  • Woody Allen is funny. Though all reading that did was make me look up and reread this, which is really funny.
  • I haven’t read this article on debate tactics yet and I was about to toss it when I saw that the author is the founder of the Young Conservative Coalition; I will find time later.
  • I did have time to listen to a few Planet Money podcasts, so I now understand the bank bailout plan. This article from Slate is a good perspective. Good in the “I hate Wall Street” vein.
  • Best. counter-terrorism. plan. ever. I am trying to friend Osama Bin Laden on Google Latitude – once he accepts we will have this whole thing wrapped up pretty quick.
  • Weird title, good blog post on social media.
