Should Media Set the Community's Agenda?
Ben Compaine as Tom Paine: Should Media Set the Community's Agenda?: Corante > Rebuilding Media >
"I believe that the mass media's ability to set a common agenda for the community has been merely a side effect that arose from the technological limitation of mass media. "
A good read on this "awkward," end of mainstream media time we're in.

YesButNoButYes: SUV: Killing Americans at home and abroad
A bit ichy that the idea came from Andrew Sullivan, but nevertheless, a great idea for that stupidest of free speech outlets -- the bumper sticker.

Is nothing sacred, or, How healthy is your Chipotle?
Say it ain't so ... those damn, vegetarian Chipotle burritos that I've been downing for the past six months are absolutely horrible for me.
And I can eat two in a sitting.
As one of the greatest films of all time taught me, we must hate BigFastFood ... "Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!"
Go ahead, see why your diet isn't working with the Chipotle Nutrition Facts Calculator - How healthy is your Chipotle?
Damn it, there is no fast food solution for the semi-vegetarian trying to lose weight.
Again, death to giant fast food companies.

"You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it," Pat Robertson said. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... and I don't think any oil shipments will stop."

it's blog about the beer (Souvenir v. Yard of Beer)
The following is a public service announcement ...

When drinking at Jacob's Field -- pass on the "yard of beer"
Yes, drinking beer in a tube that looks like a CSI prop can be exciting, but it's not intelligent.
Tom and I gave science a spin Sunday as we compared the quantity of beer in the "yard of beer" to the typical souvenir cup. The final analysis?
The $9 "yard of beer" has the same amount of miller lite as the $5.50 souvenir cup.
That's $3.50 for a plastic beaker that you won't be reusing as your breakfast cup.
... this ends the public service announcement about beer.
