Juan Cole

Once again, Juan Cole pulls the room together like no one else as it relates to the passing of Steve Jobs. I'm genuinely overwhelmed with the depth of coverage on his death considering how very sick he has been these past few years.

That said, he's an American icon and a supreme driver of this modern zeitgeist of ours.

RIP, Steve Jobs.

Oh, and I almost forgot; I fucking HATE pancreatic cancer...

Ted Rall

Big Brother up in Wisconsin gave me an electronic kick in the pants today that LMS has been dormant for far too long. In my defense, I've been terribly busy and relatively disinterested in the bloggity-blog goodness of the innertubes of late, but to placate both of my readers, here's a post.

Nothing like Ted Rall to cure what ails ya...I just knew that there was a rationale behind the eunuchfication of Barack Obama.

Clickin' it makes it bigger.
