Via, as they say, Megan McArdle, we are informed of the debut of
The much-talked-about "Conservative version of Slate"
Something called Culture11. (Never heard of it. Much-talked-about where, exactly? And did they get all excited & forget to turn off Caps Lock, resulting in "11" rather than "!!?" Or does
their culture go to 11?)
Adds Megan:
Full disclosure: I'm fairly close to its editorial staff.
Looks like a load of crap to us, but we
will read
"How Big Business destroyed regional professional wrestling." Not that we don't know, of course. If they're so conservative, though, why are they opposed to the destruction of Mom & Pop rasslin' operations? Doesn't Vince McMahon donate enough to the right?
We will not watch
Bill Bennett on “The Great Books”
Here’s a preview of an upcoming video series by Bill Bennett on four of the greatest books ever written.
“These books,” according to Dr. Bennett, “are sources of wisdom, guidance, inspiration and counsel. If you take them seriously, they can literally change your life.”
Join him on “an adventure into the human spirit” by watching the introduction to the series below.Then join the group “Bill Bennett on the Great Books” to talk about the series and get exclusive updates on future installments.
Cheese 'n' crackers! Whatta revoltin' concept!! Not to mention the irony of a video series on written material. Guess degenerate gambler & fat-boy Billy wants to get his ugly mug in front of the public, rather than letting his researchers do the typing for him.
I wonder what you think, however, about this piece: http://www.culture11.com/node/31688
