Worst Blog Ever Nominee

Like all good crappy blogs this one is updated only intermittently (like once a year), is filled with inane writing, has a title that conveys something completely different than what the blogger intended and has an aggressively ugly layout.

Stuart Granger

TCM is doing a Stuart Granger film festival today (God knows why). Talk about a closeted gay and a treetrunk of an actor (stealing from Roger Ebert's description of Roger Moore) who starred in an endless series of mediocre flicks. Strangely enough I think everyone at that time probably also sensed that he was gay but didn't really care. I think society has never had a problem with gays as long as it wasn't in their face and there was some distance of plausible deniability -- then they'd get murderous. Most of the time you could fob it off on "sophistication", and since you thought of yourself as sophisticated too, you went along with it.

Really Stupid Shit

As stupid and monkey-headed a tech article as you're likely to read this year. Slate's Farhad Manjoo claims "The Google OS Is Doomed".

From Firedog Lake. Not sure if this is the smoking gun we've been waiting for vis-a-vis Cheney.
