Crime time
: Again and again, I’ve seen people try to make a publishing franchise out of crime. It last worked when my grandmother read true confessions magazines (before tabloid and reality TV). When I was at Time Inc., they tried, incredibly, to create a crime magazine. Didn’t fly. And now I follow this link to a local franchised crime newspaper. Don’t get it. What a fun weekly read: murder, mayhem, arson, rape, theft, robbery. Oh, boy, can’t wait for the next issue!
Tonight
: About to attend a screening of The Hunting of the President (Clinton, that is); hints of a very special guest; blog later.
Drudged
: Well, I’m honored to have received my first Drudge link for the Michael Moore post below, of course.
: Since you’re wondering… A Drudge link added about 12k page views per hour in the first few hours.
We, the people…
: Ernie Miller has a great idea: Instead of ditching “God” from the Pledge of Allegiance, we should ditch the Pledge and have our schoolchildren recite, instead, the much more appropriate and meaningful preamble to the Constitution. Ernie then gives us the tale o’ the tape for the two documents.
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Boing
: BoingBoing has a new design. Well, it’s the content that matters.
