Even a Sci-Fi Author Can Tell the Media is Peddling Fantasy

Orson Scott Card, a Democrat but strongly in favor of the War on Terror, slams the media.

A must-read article. Even the headline is good: "The Fanatics that Tell Us the News."

Fanatics?

Yeah, that's right. He said it. "Fanatics."

Thanks to Way Off Bass, a site about politics and music which, alas, contains precious few references about either butt-sex or weiners and is therefore neither "sharp" nor "funny."

Well, what can I say? My mom is my most consistent reader. That's why I leave all my potty mouth remarks over here. ;)

I know him. Stunned and pleased to learn he's not a raving leftist like so many other fictioneers.

Card has become over the years an old school democrat. He's still got a few liberal social tendencies, but on things like the war, and even gay marriage, he's about as Republican as a person can get short of wandering into Ted Nugent territory.

He just picked up where Bernie Goldberg left off...but the Left won't give an inch --- that would "open the flood gates."

Schmoll: 53% of New Jersey likely voters say their neighbors are voting for Ciattarelli, while 47% say the cheater/grifter Mikie Sherrill
The "who do you think your neighbors are voting for" question is designed to avoid the Shy Tory problem, wherein conservative people lie to schmollsters because they don't want to go on record with a likely left-winger telling them who they're really voting for. So instead the question is who do you think your neighbors are voting for, so people can talk about who they themselves support without actually having to admit it to a left-wing rando stranger recording their answers on the phone.

Interesting football history: How the forward pass was created in response to the nineteen -- 19! -- people killed playing football in 1905 alone
The original rules of football did not allow forward passes. The ball was primarily advanced by running, with blockers forming lines with interlocked arms and just smashing into the similarly-interlocked defensive lines. It was basically Greek hoplite spear formations but with a semi-spherical ball. As calls to ban the sport entirely grew, some looked for ways to de-emphasize mass charges as the primary means of advancing the ball, and some specifically championed allowing a passer to throw the ball forward.

Atari to release former competitor Intellivision with 45 games for $149
I always thought Intellivision was kinda lame (to the extent a cutting edge videogame box can be lame).
Intellivision insists upon itself.
Pitfall was a really good game. I don't know if it was available on Intellivision. Update: It was. But I don't know if it's included in the new unit.
