Weekend link dump for October 21

“The Shikse’s Guide to Jewish Men”, published in 1978. Exactly as awesome as it sounds.

“Now I’ll bet you didn’t wake up wondering today how turtles go pee. But that’s what I want to talk about.”

If there wasn’t some kind of biblical prophecy about this kid, there should have been.

RIP, Arlen Specter, former Senator from Pennsylvania.

“Contemporary American elites, by acting exclusively according to what is in their interest in the short term by extracting our collective wealth for themselves and closing off opportunities for social mobility to others, are in the long-run sowing the seeds of destruction for themselves, our economy, and our society.”

Republican legislators in states like Texas have convincingly proven by their actions the continuing need for Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. But in the end, it will still come down to what five Supreme Court justices want to do.

The Candwich gets its day in the sun.

Hell hath no fury like David Stockman scorned.

All this talk about raising the Social Security retirement age is an example of the comforted afflicting the afflicted, not courageous truth-telling.

The next time someone tells you that it doesn’t matter who wins the Presidential election, show them this and tell them you beg to differ.

Sorry, but I have no sympathy for those who violate the privacy of others when they complain about their own privacy being invaded.

Is it just me, or is the idea of a Rolling Stones Golden Anniversary Tour just wrong?

RIP, Professor Earl Lewis.

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day.

Michael Bérubé on why he resigned the Paterno Family Professorship in Literature at Pennsylvania State University.

More punctuation marks, please.

So where did that binder full of women come from, anyway?

We don’t “go online” anymore, because we’re already there.

“While this is a lovely, multi-purpose binder, IT DOES NOT COME WITH WOMEN. Presumably, one is expected to find women on one’s own, or contact women’s groups, who are supposedly eager to help you stock your empty binder with women.”

Vote John Edwards for President if you know what’s good for you.

RIP, George McGovern.
