Also, a link that explains the idiocy of those complaining about the tax cuts, about how little money we are talking about to those in the $250k+ bracket.

• A great, great post by Brad DeLong on how someone who is quite rich can complain about being “average”, and how rich they really are.  Should be required reading for anyone who makes more than $250k who complains of poverty.
• A great takedown of Dinesh D’Souza’s idiotic rant against Obama.
• This is what class warfare looks like.
• Wiley Miller’s Non Sequitur comic strip was particularly good on 9/10/10.

Enjoy!

I recently was wondering why Amazon doesn’t sell hardcopy/ebook bundles… That is, why not add in a Kindle version of a book along with the hardcover version for an incremental cost.

And then I found someone who had already had my idea, and expressed it better than I could.  Even better, some of the comments seem to explain why it hasn’t happened yet (and the gist is that the publishing companies are likely preventing it, for reasons you would be hard-pressed to conceive of in any logical universe).  So read the comments as well.

This weekend, the California Golden Bears Men’s basketball team accomplished something that had not been done at Cal in FIFTY(!) years.  They became the first team to win at least a share of the conference title since 1960 (The great Pete Newell’s last year as Cal’s head coach).  The Golden Bears dominated the second half of the game vs. Arizona State, who came in essentially tied with Cal for the conference lead.  ASU still has a chance to tie for the regular-season title, if Cal can’t beat hated rival Stanfurd next week, but Cal swept ASU so they will have the top-seed in the upcoming conference tournament.  The Pac-10 doesn’t use tie-breakers to determine the regular season champion; if teams tie, they are co-champions, so Cal and ASU could be co-champions next week.  However, in terms of historical significance, that is iirrelevant.  Even if you count sharing the title, it’s been FIFTY years, and a great burden has been removed from the program with this accomplishment.

Congratulations to the team, the coaches, and everyone associated with the program on this outstanding achievement!

As a footnote, I was at the game, and took the above picture with my iPhone… Go Bears!

No one ever seems to ask those people how their divorce (or multiple divorces, in many cases) fits in with their love of “traditional” marriage, however. Pity.
