David Bruce: Wise Up! Actors (athensnews.com)
Jack Webb, star of "Dragnet," took steps not to be overwhelmed by success. To remind himself to be humble, he kept a photograph of his Hollywood Walk of Fame star - on which a dog had left a stinky memento.
Tom Danehy: Tom heads downtown for an evening of varied theater (tucsonweekly.com)
The point guard next year for the high school team I coach is named Kya. She gets really good grades, and she can dribble with her left hand, so the talking to plants and other hippie stuff she does are just pleasant eccentricities on her part.
Roger Ebert's Journal: Hell, no, I 80% wouldn't pay for Twitter!
A survey by the Annenberg School for Communications polled some 1,900 subjects and asked them if they would be willing to pay for Twitter. The percent who said they would was 0.00%. I'm not sure that number requires two places after the decimal, but that's what the report said.
Susan Estrich: Does He Get It? (creators.com)
The conventional wisdom these days is that the best shot for Democrats heading into the November elections in marginal districts is for the president to raise money and lower his profile. Just send checks. Events after 7 p.m. Closed to the press. This is not an election Democrats want to "nationalize." Better to keep it local. Better to run as your own man or woman, not as the president's best friend.
Susan Estrich: In America, Blame the Babies (creators.com)
In Dobbs' world, hundreds of thousands of immigrant mothers, heavy with child, were navigating rivers and deserts, outwitting U.S. agents and dodging gun-wielding vigilantes so they could heave themselves upon America's shores and head for the nearest emergency room. Just in the nick of time, they'd deliver babies who would take their first breaths as Americans - and later make their parents citizens, too.
Ted Rall: APPALLINGLY HEROIC
You may recall that the Pentagon, headquarters of the Department of Defense, is the same outfit that loaded $24 billion in $100 bills onto shrinkwrapped pallets and loaded the cash onto C-130 transport planes bound for Iraq--guarded by enlisted men who earn $20,000 a year. Not one of those Benjamins has ever heard from since. Which, given that the money was supposed to be paid to corrupt tribal sheikhs, is just as well.
Matt Miller: A spending goal too small for aging America (washingtonpost.com)
I don't want to overreact. I'd hate to prematurely diss President Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform , which held its fourth public meeting Wednesday. But the commission's Democratic co-chair, Erskine Bowles, may have already blown it.
Bill Press: Why Can't Obama Get Anything Done? (Tribune Media Services)
Still, when you examine the record, whether you agree with everything he's done or not, you must conclude that Obama inherited the worst problems and has already taken bolder actions than any president since FDR. The facts speak for themselves.
Meghan Daum: On Silver Lake's 'Walking Man' (latimes.com)
Perhaps it's the idea that you could be an oddball and a respected professional at the same time that caused so many people to feel an affinity for him when he was alive and a sense of loss when he died.
TIMOTHY F. GEITHNER: Welcome to the Recovery (nytimes.com)
THE devastation wrought by the great recession is still all too real for millions of Americans who lost their jobs, businesses and homes. The scars of the crisis are fresh, and every new economic report brings another wave of anxiety. That uncertainty is understandable, but a review of recent data on the American economy shows that we are on a path back to growth.
Vic Stenger: The New Spirituality (huffingtonpost.com)
… you need not be a quantum physicist or an engineer to convince yourself that we cannot control reality just by thinking we can. We can see that with our own two eyes. It simply doesn't work. No one has ever become beautiful or rich just by visualizing it.
TARA PARKER-POPE: Summer Must-Read for Kids? Any Book (nytimes.com)
A report says that for some children, the reading skills lost over the summer represent about two months' worth of schooling.
Dorian Lynskey: Is Justin Bieber really old enough for a biography? (guardian.co.uk)
The teen sensation is set to publish his first memoir and be the subject of a biopic. Is it really the right time?

Japanese Fad
What you see are not see-thru skirts. They are actually prints on the skirts to make it look as if the panties are visible. They are the current rage in Japan! I forward this as a public service, so you won't have a heart attack when the rage reaches here. Sally P :) Thanks, Sally NOTE: This is debunked over at Snopes, and it's been floating around since 2003.
