"Selling shaving razors club style for a few bucks a month doesn't sound like the best idea for a company, but this hilarious commercial has convinced me otherwise, mostly because they have a guy in a bear suit working in their warehouse. A guy in a bear suit wouldn't be caught dead working for a crappy company, at least not while wearing the suit."--Neatorama
Paul Krugman: Ignorance is Strength (New York Times)
… now one of our two major political parties has taken a hard right turn against education, or at least against education that working Americans can afford. Remarkably, this new hostility to education is shared by the social conservative and economic conservative wings of the Republican coalition, now embodied in the persons of Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney.
Sanford Pinsker: Anti-Intellectualism in Presidential Politics (Irascible Professor)
Even Santorum would probably agree that some form of additional education or training has become increasingly important in 21st century America. But on the campaign trail, a sound bite accusing an opponent of an egregious lapse is how the game is played. Santorum, in short, knew how to push the right anti-intellectual button.
Ted Rall: You're Not Underemployed. You're Underpaid
Ford proposes a Basic Income Guarantee based on performance of non-work activities; volunteering at a soup kitchen would be considered compensable work. But even this "radical" proposal doesn't go far enough. Whatever comes next, revolutionary overthrow or reform of the existing system, Americans are going to have to accept a reality that will be hard for a nation of strivers to take: we're going to have to start paying people to sit at home.

I still am trying to figure out what exactly Republican presidential candidates think they're going to lose if they criticize Limbaugh for publicly trash talking a woman young enough to be their daughter. What part of their base are they afraid to alienate? Or claim, even?

David Bruce: Wise Up! Friends (Athens News)
Roger Ebert and John McHugh have been best friends for a long time. They met while working on the 'Chicago Daily News.' Mr. McHugh was a rewrite man who fielded telephone calls from readers. Late at night, the calls were often made to settle bets. Mr. McHugh would listen to one of the arguers and say, "You're 100 percent correct. Put the other guy on." He then would tell the other arguer, "You're 100 percent correct." Whenever a caller asked for his name, he would say, "John T. Greatest, spelled with three Ts."

Shelly Winters Quotes
I have bursts of being a lady, but it doesn't last long.
I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience.
I was so cold the other day, I almost got married.
I'm not overweight. I'm just nine inches too short.
In Hollywood, all marriages are happy. It's trying to live together afterwards that causes the problems.
Now that I'm over sixty I'm veering toward respectability.
Whenever you want to marry someone, go have lunch with his ex-wife."

Dick Van Dyke is a very happy newlywed at age 86, his spokesman said Friday.
Van Dyke and makeup artist Arlene Silver, 40, were married last week in a small Leap Day ceremony at a Malibu chapel near the actor's home, publicist Bob Palmer said.
Members of Silver's family and some of Van Dyke's close friends were on hand for the intimate wedding. Van Dyke suggested the couple may hold a bigger ceremony in the future, Palmer said.
Michelle Triola Marvin, Van Dyke's partner of 30 years, died in October 2009 at age 76.
Van Dyke, who had a longtime marriage that ended in divorce, has four children.

It weighs 340 tons, stands 21 feet, 10 inches high and measures 32 feet across. Beyond its massive size, this granite boulder being delivered to Los Angeles is no ordinary rock. It is art, or will be soon.
Last week, the huge rock embarked on an 11-day journey from the California desert to its new home at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art where it will become the centerpiece of artist Michael Heizer's "Levitated Mass." He conceived of the artwork in 1968, but only discovered the right boulder six years ago while scouring a granite quarry.
It is expected to arrive in the early morning hours on Saturday and will take weeks to put in place before the installation opens to the public in late spring or early summer.
When "Levitating Mass" is completed, people will walk into a sort of trench in the ground underneath it, and the boulder will seem to rise in the air and hover above their heads. The museum hopes the work will become a major attraction for tourists and others at the museum.
For the past year, workers have been wrangling the monolith onto a 294-foot-long trailer with a combined weight of 1.2 million pounds -- a load as wide as three highway lanes.
Once it arrives, the rock will be placed atop a 456-long trench in the ground where it will keep with Heizer's notion of 'negative-space' wherein a landscape's absence is emphasized.
Hatsune Miku has a following that would make most Japanese pop stars green with envy, with thousands of fans at every concert and a big international following.
She never misses a beat, fluffs a line or messes up a step. But then she doesn't really exist.
Hatsune Miku is computer generated, based on a voice-synthesizing programme developed by the company Crypton Future Media that allows users to create their own music.
Her image was produced by the company, but her music is a creation of her fans, Her best songs -- the ones headlined at her concerts -- have emerged from more than 20 different people.

An ancient Judean coin has sold for $1.1 million at a New York City auction.
The Year 1 prototype silver shekel from A.D. 66 was bought Thursday night at Heritage Auctions by a private East Coast collector.
It's one of only two known Year 1 prototype silver shekels. The other one is in the collection of the Israel Museum.
It's the first silver coin struck by Jewish forces revolting against Roman rule in the first century. It features an image of a ritual chalice and three pomegranates.
Conservative talker Rush Limbaugh (R-Appalling) has taken plenty of heat from advertisers since his comments last week about to self-proclaimed contraception activist Sandra Fluke, but at least one female advertiser isn't backing away from his radio show.
Internet entrepreneur and conservative pundit Michelle Malkin (R-Queen Of The Anchor Babies) announced on Friday that her new website Twitchy.com would be advertising on Limbaugh's website.
Twitchy.com is described as "a Twitter curation site" and that mines "Twitter to bring you 'who said what' in U.S. politics, global news, sports, entertainment, media, and breaking news 24/7," according to the site.

Police say rapper Coolio was arrested in Las Vegas on a warrant charging him with failure to appear in court on a traffic ticket almost two years ago.
Officer Laura Meltzer says 48-year-old Artis Leon Ivey Jr. was a passenger in a vehicle officers stopped about 2:20 a.m. Friday several blocks east of the Las Vegas Strip. No one else in the car was arrested.
Ivey was sought on a warrant charging him with failure to appear on an illegal stop and driving without a license summons issued in June 2010.
He was freed later Friday. His court date wasn't immediately known.

Ninety-year-old Harold Camping predicted that the world would come to an end on May 21, 2011. And then again on October 21, 2011.
And while it has been clear for months that the world, in fact, did not end on either date, Camping has finally issued an official statement admitting the mistake.
"We humbly acknowledge we were wrong about the timing," his statement reads. "We tremble before God as we humbly ask Him for forgiveness for making that sinful statement."
"Though we were wrong God is still using the May 21 warning in a very mighty way. In the months following May 21 the Bible has, in some ways, come out from under the shadows and is now being discussed by all kinds of people who never before paid any attention to the Bible," Camping wrote. "Even as God used sinful Balaam to accomplish His purposes, so He used our sin to accomplish His purpose of making the whole world acquainted with the Bible."
"We also openly acknowledge that we have no new evidence pointing to another date for the end of the world. Though many dates are circulating, Family Radio has no interest in even considering another date. God has humbled us through the events of May 21, to continue to even more fervently search the Scriptures (the Bible), not to find dates, but to be more faithful in our understanding."

Three ancient marble fragments from the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles have been repatriated to Greece following a deal last year.
A culture ministry statement says two of the 2,400-year-old pieces are parts of the same broken gravestone decorated with relief sculptures, and will be joined onto a third section in a Greek museum.
The Getty also returned an inscribed slab related to a religious festival.
The 5th century B.C. fragments arrived in Athens Friday. Greece is discussing lending an ancient Greek inscription to the Getty in return.

For more than five weeks, a woman's body lay undisturbed in a secluded Texas field. Then a frenzied flock of vultures descended on the corpse and reduced it to a skeleton within hours.
But this was not a crime scene lost to nature. It was an important scientific experiment into the way human bodies decompose, and the findings are upending assumptions about decay that have been the basis of homicide cases for decades.
Experienced investigators would normally have interpreted the absence of flesh and the condition of the bones as evidence that the woman had been dead for six months, possibly even a year or more. Now a study of vultures at Texas State University is calling into question many of the benchmarks detectives have long relied on.
The time of death is critical in any murder case. It's a key piece of evidence that influences the entire investigation, often shaping who becomes a suspect and ultimately who is convicted or exonerated.
The vulture study, conducted on 26 acres near the south-central Texas campus, stemmed from previous studies that used dead pigs, which decompose much like humans. Scientists set up a motion-sensing camera that captured the vultures jumping up and down on the woman's body, breaking some of her ribs, which investigators could also misinterpret as trauma suffered during a beating.
Robert Temple Ayres, the set illustrator whose burning Ponderosa map opened TV's long-running Western series "Bonanza," has died in California. He was 98.
His daughter, Sharon Richards, says he died of heart failure Feb. 25 at his home in Riverside County.
The Los Angeles Times says Ayres made a final trek to see his artwork at Los Angeles' Autry National Center of the American West just days before he died. He created the painting at Paramount Studios in 1959. The Ponderosa map was opened each "Bonanza" episode, bursting into flames to reveal the Cartwright clan, played by Lorne Greene, Michael Landon, Dan Blocker and Pernell Roberts.
Ayres began his studio career on "Ben-Hur" and worked as a set illustrator on hundreds of films, including "Blue Hawaii" and "The Black Hole."
