Paul Krugman: Senator Bunning's Universe (nytimes.com)
Democratic and Republican debates over unemployment benefits and health care show that the parties currently live in different universes, both intellectually and morally.


DAVID BROOKS: The Hard and the Soft (nytimes.com)
That Norway won as many gold medals as the United States at the Vancouver Winter Games was no anomaly. Take the story of Jan Baalsrud, for instance.


Mark Morford: Radical homosexuals ate my baby! (sfgate.com)
And now, ladies and gentlemen, right here on our stage, a fine and terrifyingly hilarious -- or is that hilariously terrifying? -- spectacle, for your disquieting reading pleasure. Please, remove the children. Ready?


Lionel Rolfe: Obama Will Likely Be Our Next Lincoln (randomlengthsnews.com)
Ultimately I think that Barack Obama will be considered one of the great presidents. He has the intellectual ability to see what the problems are and what might be done about them. That's a big start, compared to the last president. There's a problem, however. The nation is awash in religious fervor and a growing worship of ignorance, not unlike the Middle East and too many other parts of the world. This is not the way to deal with the future.


CHARLES M. BLOW: Spirit Quest (nytimes.com)
Young adults are looking for spirituality but not necessarily through organized religion.


Meghan Daum: Too many heroes (latimes.com)
The daughter of Austin suicide-pilot Joseph Stack claimed her dad was one and got a vehement response. But she deserves some slack.


Gary Greenberg: 'Am I happy enough?' (guardian.co.uk)
Psychotherapist and author of 'Manufacturing Depression' Gary Greenberg talks to Tim Adams about drugs and true love.


There's something about Alice (guardian.co.uk)
With its unforgettable creatures, games with language and logic and ever-curious hero, Lewis Carroll's Wonderland is not only vivid but thrillingly different from other imagined worlds. In the week Tim Burton's film is released, AS Byatt takes another trip down the rabbit hole to celebrate classics she first enjoyed as a child.


"The System of Vienna: From Heaven Street to Earth Mound Square" by Gert Jonke: A review by Matthew Jakubowski
When Austrian dramatist, poet, and author Gert Jonke died from pancreatic cancer at age 62 last year, British journalist Guy Dammann lamented that he passed just as his readership was finally beginning to match his reputation: ...


A date with the new Phantom: Love Never Dies (guardian.co.uk)
He is a murderer in a mask but Tanya Gold loves him. As The Phantom of the Opera sequel opens, she sneaks backstage to throw herself into his arms.


roger ebert's journal: I wonder if this will work
"Nobody on the web is has figured out how to make any money," I said one day before a screening at the Sundance Film Festival. I was talking to another movie critic whose reviews were also online.


ROGER EBERT: Hello, this is me speaking
After I lost my speaking voice, everybody thought they had this brilliant idea. "Hey! Why don't you just take your voice from your old shows and put it on a computer?" Sounded good to me.

Trivia Question from Yesterday


Which Monkee performed on The Ed Sullivan Show the same night that the Beatles made their American debut?


      Davy Jones                                                      Source


Englishman Davy Jones was a former jockey who had achieved some initial success on the musical stage (appearing with the cast of Oliver! on The Ed Sullivan Show the night of the Beatles' live American debut).            Source





mj was first, but wrong, with:
   I have a one in four chance here
  And since he was the most serious about his music, I'm guessing Mike Nesmith.




~ Tony in Philly nailed it with:
   Davy Jones!




Alan J answered:
   Davy Jones



Jim from CA, retired to ID, replied:
   I was 12 and got to stay up late....it was Davy Jones



Charlie wrote:
   It was Davy Jones, performing as the Artful Dodger in the Broadway cast of Oliver!




Tom from Kent, Ohio responded:
   It was Davy Jones as part of the cast of "Oliver" who appeared on Ed Sullivan the same night as the Beatles.



Sally said:
   I remember (yes, go ahead and laugh, I actually saw that show in my youth) Davy Jones was on The Ed Sullivan Show that night that the Beatles appeared on the show - give or take some 45 years ago - but not as part of the Monkees. Davy was performing with the cast of Broadway's Oliver! Jones played the Artful Dodger.

  I recently heard an old comedy team on NPR (Brill & McCall) talking about being the act to direct follow the Beatles onstage that night. It was funny, and sad - they bombed badly; the audience only wanted more Beatles after seeing them perform...




MAM   replied:
   Davey Jones, who at 16, was appearning on Broadway in "Oliver" as the Artful Dodger singing 'I'd do anything'.

  Davy Jones - I'd do anything
  PS I sent my March support to the E page. I hope you did too!



And, Joe S answered:
   Oh man! I almost forgot about the quiz tonight, it's Friday and I've been so wrapped up in Chelsea Lately and then the Soup Awards. My head's just a buzzin'. If I were to venture a guess as to the answer I would guess Mike Nesmith because I like Mike Nesmith and I don't like the other Monkees. However, Mike is not the answer, it's Davy Jones. Who I really do not like. At all. But I do like Mike Nesmith (I believe I mentioned that) and . this is my favorite Mike Nesmith song. Ok, gotta go watch Star Trek, TNG. It's half over.
  PS Sally, I liked your Bat Mower, here's the Bat Meower.

The DUI arrest of California State Senator Senator Roy Ashburn is raising new question about the politician -- an outspoken opponent of gay rights -- who has been spotted frequently at gay bars in Sacramento.

Ashburn served six years as a state Assemblyman before being elected to the State Senate. According to Project Vote Smart, Ashburn's voting record shows he has voted against every gay rights measure in the State Senate since taking office, including Recognizing Out-Of-State Same-Sex Marriages," as well as legislation to honor Harvey Milk, and Expansion of Anti-Discrimination Laws.

Sweden Honors

Michael J. Fox

Sweden's Karolinska institute says it will give an honorary degree of medicine to Canadian-American actor Michael J. Fox for his work to raise funds and awareness for Parkinson's disease.

The institute, which awards the annual Nobel Prize in medicine, says the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research has since 2000 given more than $175 million to research aimed at developing drugs against the disease.

Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991. The disease is a progressive neurological condition that impairs the motor skills.

Karolinska says Fox will receive the doctorate in a ceremony in New York on Friday.

Man With An Opinion

Sean Penn

Sean Penn has strong words for those who think he's showing off with his aid to earthquake-ravaged Haiti.

In an interview airing on this weekend's "Sunday Morning" on CBS, the outspoken actor says he hopes any cynic who dismisses his efforts as a star turn will "die screaming of rectal cancer."

Penn has visited the devastated Caribbean nation accompanied by doctors and a U.S. businesswoman with whom he established a relief organization. He has brought water filters for distribution to villages and met with aid groups.

Besides raising funds, Penn says he has contributed his own money.

When asked how much, he replies with a laugh, "Enough that I'd better get a job soon."

Wins Latest Round

Snoop Dogg

U.S. rapper Snoop Dogg has won the latest round in a long-running battle with British border authorities to be allowed into the country.

The 38-year-old, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, was originally denied entry in 2007, forcing him and fellow rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs to cancel the British dates of their European tour.

The ban relates to Snoop Dogg's arrest at Heathrow airport in 2006 following a fracas involving members of his entourage.

In 2008 the ban was lifted but when the UK Border Agency challenged the decision, it went to an Asylum and Immigration Tribunal. Earlier this week, the tribunal announced its decision that to deny him entry had been wrong.

Car Commercial

John Lennon

A new Citroen commercial that's airing on U.K. television features old footage of John Lennon, and now Beatles fans are wondering whether Yoko Ono made the right decision in allowing the French car company to use her late husband's image.

In the ad -- made for Citroen's new "anti-retro" DS-3 model -- Lennon is shown criticizing people who rehash the past in their own work. "Once a thing's been done it's been done, so while this nostalgia -- I mean for the '60s and '70s, you know, looking backwards for inspiration, copying the past -- how's that rock 'n' roll?" Lennon says. "Do something of your own. Start something new, you know? Live your lives now. Know what I mean?"

In response to the controversy, Lennon and Ono's son Sean Lennon took to his Twitter page and explained the thought process behind his mother's decision. "She did not do it for money," Lennon said. "Has to do (with) hoping to keep dad in public consciousness. No new LPs, so TV ad is exposure to young."

"Having just seen (the) ad I realize why people are mad," Lennon added. "But (our) intention was not financial, (it) was simply wanting to keep him out there in the world."

Too Hot

Snow Venus

Police in New Jersey ordered a snow sculpture modeled on the famous nude Venus de Milo to be covered up after a neighbor complained, the artist said Thursday.

Elisa Gonzalez, 44, carved the ancient Greek-style torso from snow on her front lawn in Rahway and says her work was initially a hit.

One neighbor clearly felt the snow nude -- headless, armless, and cut off above the knees -- was too hot.

"We had a visit from the local police who told us that a neighbor had complained about the statue and we needed to cover it up or knock it down," Gonzalez said. "We didn't want to have any problem with the police so we covered it up."

Abandons Gen Xers

MTV

Music videos are still valuable content for MTV, even though viewers' evolving tastes have required an expansion into reality and other shows, a top executive at the cable channel said Thursday.

MTV and its sibling networks, such as VH1 and CMT, still play more than 600 music video hours a week, but they increasingly play on alternative platforms, said Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks Music and Logo Group.

Toffler, speaking during a keynote interview at the Billboard Music & Money Symposium, said MTV integrates music in different ways via big events and by using music within shows. It also spends more than $100 million in music each year in the form of promotions and the like.

He was recently quoted as saying the channel was pushing out members of Generation X. Asked jokingly by his Billboard interviewer why he hates that audience, Toffler quipped: "Because you're cynical."

On a serious note, he said the 12-29-year-old demographic is in focus for him and his colleagues. Those Millennials, born between 1980 and 2000, are "much more traditional," Toffler explained. For example, many of them watch "Jersey Shore" with their parents, he said. That's why Taylor Swift got such strong support when Kanye West interrupted her on stage at the Video Music Awards last year, he added.

Arctic Seas Action

Methane Bubbles

Large amounts of a powerful greenhouse gas are bubbling up from a long-frozen seabed north of Siberia, raising fears of far bigger leaks that could stoke global warming, scientists said.

It was unclear, however, if the Arctic emissions of methane gas were new or had been going on unnoticed for centuries -- since before the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century led to wide use of fossil fuels that are blamed for climate change.

The study said about 8 million tonnes of methane a year, equivalent to the annual total previously estimated from all of the world's oceans, were seeping from vast stores long trapped under permafrost below the seabed north of Russia.

The experts measured levels of methane, a gas that can be released by rotting vegetation, in water and air at 5,000 sites on the East Siberian Arctic Shelf from 2003-08. In some places, methane was bubbling up from the seabed.

Previously, the sea floor had been considered an impermeable barrier sealing methane. Current methane concentrations in the Arctic are the highest in 400,000 years.

Back To Babylon-By-The-Bay

Sea Lions

The thousands of California sea lions that showed up this winter off the central Oregon coast seem to have largely moved on.

In San Francisco, last fall's abrupt disappearance of the creatures left tourists disappointed. Now they're slowly returning to San Francisco's Pier 39.

While the sea lions range widely, the mass exodus of most of a population of about 1,700 was puzzling. Some scientists suggest perhaps they simply headed north looking for food.

The Oregonian reports that schools of fish such as anchovies and sardines were ample off Oregon. One photo taken this winter off Oregon's Lost Beach between Sea Lion Caves and Heceta Head showed thousands of the animals.

Welcome Wake-Up

Birdsongs

Britons love to wake up to the sound of a bird tweeting or warbling, according to a poll which showed that birdsong is the most popular alarm tone after the traditional beep.

Although the beep led the way, birdsong was ahead of church bells, chimes, World War Two sirens and dogs barking.

By contrast, the least popular tones were violin screeching and kettle whistling.

The poll was carried out by British digital radio maker PURE whose latest model provides access to 365 alarm tones, one for every day of the year.

In Memory

Johnny Alf

A founder of Bossa Nova music has died in Brazil after fighting prostate cancer. He was 80.

Pianist Johnny Alf was called the "true father of Bossa Nova" by Ruy Castro, who wrote a definitive history of the music. Alf widely influenced later stars.

Alf was born Alfredo Jose da Silva on May 19, 1929, in Rio de Janeiro. He was an aficionado of early American jazz, which greatly influenced his work and that of Bossa Nova as a whole.

He appeared on 46 albums, but only recorded nine solo records.

His 1955 songs "Rapaz de bem" and "O Tempo e o vento" are considered by many the start of Bossa Nova.
