Last night, various Reddit users posted links to stories from ABC and other news outlets reporting that the Secret Service had been dispatched to the home of Senator Joe Biden.
That wasn't a 100% slam dunk but a pretty good indication of the pending announcement, which Obama's campaign had otherwise managed to keep in great secrecy up until that point. Still, there's a lesson in there about "Internet time" and the fact that nothing's a secret for very long anymore in this day and age. Monday, August 11

He's A Good Dog - Fred Eaglesmith (I couldn't find an authentic Fred version so this is a link to a fan cover. Loses some of the impact without Fred's gravelly voice but gives you a taste anyhow. Hmm, maybe I should just finish the list with four other sad Fred songs. MacLean's has a story about living libraries where patrons can borrow "types" - policeman, Arab, homosexual, Atheist, etc. - for half hour conversations.
