Link-O-Rama

In homage to the great, masterful, Mungovian Monday's Childs, here's a Friday Angus link-o-rama


1. Will we ever learn to separate skill from luck? Not in Spain apparently.

2. Japan is winning the war against deflation. Or are they?

3. Chris Christie embraces the police state. Nice touch to blame libertarians in advance for the next terrorist attack.

4. The eternal sunshine of the spotless president. Obama's "protect whistleblowers" policy disappears from the web.

5. Have we discovered the origins of the friends and family discount? Wrong! Zap!

6. A petition against the MOOC. Sadly, this is not a satire. "Tenured professors are people too".

Atlas Pooped: A love story

"You should never feel guilty about your abilities. Including your ability to repeatedly peg a fellow toddler with your Elmo ball as he sobs for mercy"

Full story here, and it's terrific.

All Hail Rashard Mendenhall!

What better way to celebrate going to the super bowl with a rapist for a QB than enthusiastically humping him on the last play of the game?

I have been a Steelers fan since the Steel Curtain 1970s with Joe Greene, L. C. Greenwood, Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, et. al, but I am pretty conflicted about rooting for them this year.

I did really enjoy Rashard gettin' busy though!
