    Pat Bagley, SL Tribune Cartoonist Extraordinaire

    Yes, Virginia, there IS satire in Utah. Don’t miss the “GOP Values Party!” cartoon…. or the “Senator Orrin McClownshoes” one… or the “Digitally Enhanced Pixelated Basin” one … oh, just keep clicking the little seagull. The Salt Lake Tribune — Pat Bagley Here’s a few selections of Bagley’s cartoons just in July and June: We Republicans are the Values… PARTY!! Digitally Enhanced Pixelated Basin and my personal favorite, now that Al Franken has finally taken his Senate seat: I think that’s Harry Reid on the left (naturally), and it’s definitely Borin’ Orrin on the far right, of course.

    Internet Declares Socks-Found-Safe Thanksgiving Day 2009

    @Pennycat denies involvement in disappearance of Twitteratti @Sockington Sockington is Missing (Update: FOUND) — HUZZAH SOCKS ARMY UPDATE: SOCKS HAS BEEN FOUND. He was underneath a shelf in my office, wrapped in a curtain, completely spooked and terrified. For the first time in years, he spent hours completely silent, not even reacting to hands, flashlights and food being waved inches from where he was. We’ve got him resting in a bedroom and letting whatever freaked him out get out of his system. As I posted on Jason’s blog post and Flickr page showing a very subdued Sockington, it’s a huge…

    Palin Bailin’ Out

    Every blogger worth her or his salt has already had a lot to say about Sarah Palin’s gobsmacking resignation yesterday. I can’t possibly improve on what they had to say (you should visit Mudflats, the companion piece at Huffpost, and Andrew Sullivan’s “Iceberg” post and catch up there). I heard fairly long clips of this speech on NPR on my way home, and I was trying to make sense of it and drive safely. All too soon, I gave up on trying to parse the unparseable and concentrated on getting home without incident. Some of the phrases I heard, however…

    The 3 Teenors

    3 young men, ages 14 and 15, tear it up on “O Solo Mio” on an Italian Idol-type program. Can you even sing like that without hurting yourself before your third decade? However, they’re miked, so not having to get the sound out the old-fashioned way over the studio orchestra (who aren’t that well rehearsed, frankly). One of them may technically be a baritone, all of them may be destined for either the opera, or some kind of romantic pop-idol musical limbo now inhabited by Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli.

    Currently Watching: Niewart on Lone Wolves

    I’m currently watching Dave Niewart’s appearance on Anderson Cooper, where he’s talking about the phenomenon of the Lone Wolf gunman/terrorist. It seems that their panic at finding themselves in a country led by a black Democrat leads to an increase in violent incidents like the shooting at the Holocaust Museum. I’m currently gathering links to “wingnut hysteria” on del.icio.us, because I’m thinking of listing pairs of words that describe extremists at both ends of the religio-political spectrum.
