“Too big too fail.” It’s one of the most overworked phrases in this bailout bonanza. But I’ve always thought that it sounded more like the title of a porn movie. (“See Dirk Rambo in To Big To Fail,” an advertisement might read.)
Speaking of bailouts and porn, I’m afraid I’m going to have to disagree with Campbell Brown on this one.
Here are some of the people writing about some of the stuff I wish I had time to write about, for January 6th through January 7th:
So, word is that Obama is eyeing CNN’s Sanjay Gupta for Surgeon General. Well, on the one hand, I can understand “eyeing” Gupta for … well … just about anything. After all, I did include the good doctor on my list of “Hot Talking Heads” a few years back.
And, ya gotta admit, the man is easy on the eyes.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check the episode schedule and make sure you don’t miss the History Channel’s “Crash: The Next Great Depression?”.
This one-hour special looks at the current economic meltdown in the US and compares and contrasts it with what led up to the Great Depression, the 1929 Crash, its immediate aftermath and what helped to bring us out of the Depression. Threading first person accounts with expert interviews, the special lets viewers understand how much history is repeating itself and what does history tell us about our future?
Tonight, it followed (appropriately enough) the “Greed” episode of the History Channel’s series The Seven Deadly Sins.

Terrance is glad the kids are in bed, and the laundry folded. Now what was it that I wanted to do today?…

“If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.”
- Harvey Milk, November 1977
I was probably sleeping at 1:20 a.m. on June, 28, 1969, when police raided the Stonewall Inn, in Greenwich Village, setting off several days and nights of riots now credited with launching the modern gay rights movement. I was four months old. Too young to know what was happening in New York or its significance to me, or that I would be among the beneficiaries of the fight started that night. I was probably more concerned with mastering the art of rolling over or holding up my head.
I was about three years old in 1972, when Harvey Milk opened his camera store in the Castro, which became the launching pad for a political career and — arguably — the next phase of the movement started at Stonewall. And, again, I was too young to know who Harvey Milk was, or that I would be among the beneficiaries of what he was starting.
But, one day, I would know.
OK. I plead guilty to this When I got my iPhone 4, I gave Parker my old iPhone 3G (with parental controls in place, phone service deactivated, everything restored to factory settings, history wiped clean, and internet access and the App Store on lockdown) to play games on, etc. But does that make me a “Scrooge”? Puh-leeze. An eight-year-old needs the latest iPhone?
It’s happening again. I’m getting that “I’ve got a book in me, if I can make time to write it,” feeling. Of course, that “if” is the big, and the deciding, factor.
I was never one of those who claim “there’s no such thing as bisexuality.” I’ve known too many bisexuals to buy that the “don’t exist.” So, I’m not surprised that a study now indicates there is too such a thing as bisexuality. In men, that is.
Apparently, it’s hard to build a successful television show around someone who’s (a) unlikeable and (b) had no discernible talent beyond reproducing.
It’s not that I don’t trust the guy, and maybe the whole Weinergate thing has me a little gun shy, but am I the only who thinks Obama tweeting for himself may not be the best idea?
