Remains of the Day, 5/27/08


You know, people are starting to wear me down, and for people who know me, I mean, who really know me, and have heard or witnessed me go on a tear, that can only mean one thing – eschewing all decorum and being unforgivingly and unrelentlessly and unapologetically obnoxious.

Consider yourselves warned.

1. Two-fer from Wendy Hoke at Creative Ink:

-Joe Biden rocks, with video

-audio and article on the foreclosure crisis, done by Wendy and published in the Christian Science Monitor

2. What was it, barely two or three years ago when CWRU Professor Lawrence Krauss made a big stink, and now he’s leaving? I interviewed him once, when he picked up the phone not expecting it to be me. He was fine, but he definitely seems very self-assured, to put it mildly.

3. Is Cleveland losing an art director?

In the meantime, what’s it look like as far as the Met succession? According to press reports, Cleveland Museum of Art director Timothy Rub is on the short list of candidates to become the Met’s new director. One problem — Rub told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that he’s not a candidate. “I’m happy in Cleveland,” he said.

4. Wouldn’t you know that just as I’m gearing up to get up to speed with the Cuyahoga County reform stuff, the language is pulled from the Ohio GA’s bill?

5. See who tweets. Hattip to Beth Kanter.

6. Working with Words has no link back to where this info derives, but according to John Ettorre, there will be a Family Guy spinoff called Cleveland. Here’s a bit more.

7. I’m sorry, but there is just no way that anything in this case in Woodmere is going to come out smelling good. Use your vote, people. (Woodmere is one of the towns whose residents are in the Orange school district.)

8. Logophile reminds us that there have been many women who’ve run for president before Hillary Clinton.

9. Interesting Politico column about how blogs wag the news.

10. Wanna see what a country whose kids outperform ours does to keep those kids outperforming ours? Japan wants to limit cellphone use for kids.

11. Last but definitely not least (and there are many more I still have in open tabs that I’m not including tonight), The Chief Source’s Annie has a fantastic post and comment thread going about contraceptive equity. My contribution? Anyone who cannot afford contraception can babysit my kids. That should do the trick for a good chunk o’time.

    I’ve since added the link that I found most informative, Jill. But I originally noticed the item buried in the back pages of the print version of the NYT.

    Thanks, John. I confess – I don’t watch the Family Guy but it’s the title of “Cleveland” that caught my eye. And, my oldest child likes Family Guy.

    Scryberwitch – absolutely – I love finding new blogs and I really appreciate the link to the women in leadership list. Can’t wait to post more about that.
