Friday Morning Links
Let’s see what I can’t bang out right now.
* I hope I can be rich enough to do stupid stuff like this someday.
* The news I forgot about is that the looming recession might not be that looming. Not great growth by any stretch, but considering we’ve been hearing about this “coming recession” for as many quarters as there hasn’t been a recession, there’s at least reason to be somewhat optimistic that we’re experiencing a slowdown rather than a full-blown recession. Talk about a wrench in the election rhetoric, though.
* Really, one of the best sports stories I’ve read in a while: The story of the injured softball player’s home run, and the sportsmanship of the opponents. Really interesting.
* Jacob Sullum at Reason maps out my relative discomfort with the FLDS craziness.
* Congrats to Capcom’s inclusion in Guinness for holding the record for “Most Number of Games in a Series” with the Mega Man franchise. Further kudos for Capcom taking it in stride and being able to laugh at itself a bit.
* Robert Samullsen at the Washington Post nails the oil issue.
* Yesterday was May Day, so it’s a good time to remember the victims.
* Should Seattle declare its independence?
That’s it for now.
