Link Salad, Because Friday! (Again)
Dec. 6th, 2013 09:45 amThe weather has turned cold in Chicago (I know, shocking for Chicago in December) so to keep warm let's throw some links on the fire.
A) Apparently Lee Harvey Oswald, in the process of trying to defect to Cuba, attended a party at the Cuban embassy in Mexico City. There he learned that JFK was trying to assassinate Castro. Perhaps that's why Oswald shot Kennedy.
B) Linkage is not endorsement - this guy says America has been using 'Breaking Bad' logic since 9/11. "Breaking Bad" logic is "because we're the Good Guys (tm) anything we do is okay."
C) From pilot James Fallows - landing at the wrong airport is easy to do.
D) A Wal-Mart in Ohio was criticized for holding a food drive for their own employees. I am ambivalent about this. On the one hand, I'd like Wal-Mart to pay their people a living wage. On the other, the local managers can only do so much or they will get fired by corporate.
E) Signal boost - Patrick Rothfuss is holding a charity fundraising drive.
ETA F) Nelson Mandela, much like George Washington, was no pacifist.
