Thai pop followed by The Books, some Russian dub and Bernie Worrell going Praxis on the keyboards. I love when the music ramps up as the caffeine hits.
No, the news hasn’t been measuring up to the soundtrack this morning but some “mushroom” jazz is playing right now, a bar so low that even Cargill Meat Solutions could hop over it.

Hilarious. According to Sarah Palin’s LinkedIn resume, her current occupation is Vice Presidential Nominee AND Governor, State of Alaska.
No, not an abandoned old page — it lists her VeepNom experience as being one year and three months.

The different ages of man.
Shakespeare says I’ve entered old age and my life must now be governed by Jupiter. Solon says that “some powers remain, but eloquence and wisdom are diminished.” Hippocrates simply says, “old” whereas Isidore of Seville says “aetus senioris/gravitas.”
Jewish lore would have me giving counsel, German rhyme says I’ve reached a stationary period. Vedics say no, Vanaprastha, “hermitage.” A.A. Gill says that “old age is German: ponderous, pompous and pedantic” but in Turkmenistan I would be living in my own age of the prophet.
Much, much more. One of the better things I’ve seen the NYTimes do in quite a while, and just in time for the O administration to issue their new medical marijuana guidelines.

Nothing creates new sources of journalism faster than the deaths of old sources of journalism.
The funny thing is that newspapers don’t have to die before embracing the next life. It’s not an afterlife or underworld, just the same world with more tools.
Suit-wearing tools don’t “get” tools. And people who just barely get that there’s something to get, think of it as being new agey.
As opposed to a world apart. [more from dday's first FDL post]
As opposed to a 1,000-year fourth reich estate.

Israeli diplomat: Israel would have accepted Goldstone report had it called Hamas out as war criminals.
But then Goldstone would have had to use the same language to describe the Israelis.
Usually when two gangs shoot it out, the cops show up. Who are the cops in the Middle East?
Oh, right.
