I’ve been so busy of late that I haven’t had the time to find some really good news chum, but I figured I’d take some time at lunch and share the few I found:
- From the “Ideologues” Department: The Los Angeles Times has a nice piece today about how if Ronald Reagan was running today, he would be snubbed by the GOP for being too liberal. The article notes how both parties have gone to the ends of their spectrums, leaving the moderates with no one viable. Interesting read.
- From the “They Happen In Threes” Department: With the recent deaths of Gary Coleman and Rue McClanahan, there’s one name that surprisingly hasn’t been mentioned: Conrad Bain. He’s the common link: He worked with McClanahan on Maude, and Coleman on Different Stokes… and Bain is still alive.
- From the “They’re Back” Department: When I was a kid, everyone had a terrarium. You would take an old fish tank or large jar, put in some dirt, some plants, and give it to your mother :-). Well, according to the New York Times, terrariums are making a comeback.
- From the “Addicted” Department: The NY Times has a nice piece on the mental price of all of our gadgets.
