Friday Morning Links: News, commentary and other stuff

Good grief, it’s Friday already?  Where has this week gone? Been a busy one here at Tiny Wheels Media LLC.  I burned the  midnight oil last night working on a cartoon, signed a bunch of items to give away to clients and filled in for Sid Salter yesterday on his radio show.  All and all, it’s been an awesome week.  Too many blessings, not enough time.

Hope you like nice, sunny weather. You don’t? Move to Seattle.  The rest of us will have this to enjoy: Sunny and a high near 60. There’s a slight chance of rain tomorrow if you’re in any parades or taking part of the opening of the Mississippi Children’s Museum but not enough of a threat to spoil anyone’s fun. ENJOY.

Friday Free-For-All: Discussion, friends and air cleaners. Don’t ask.

Thought I’d start with a bit of good news: Hiring is up. The line I like best out of the story is this: Americans who do have a job are working more. Really? Everyone I know is know is doing at least four jobs at work.

Waldo: Where’s Dan Mullen? Latest article on whether Mississippi State’s football coach will be bolting for South Beach. Maybe we should call these guys to investigate.

South Korea: We will bomb you into stone age with jets if you attack us again.  Great. Nothing says Christmas like another war.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS! I had to switch to something people care about. Here’s the latest coverage from The Clarion-Ledger’s high school football reporters. Some good games — South Panola will also play Auburn for the BSC Championship.

Sorry Charlie: Yesterday, Rep. Charles Rangel stood silently and was censured for bringing discredit to the House.  And considering how low the opinion of Congress is most people’s minds, that took a lot of hard work to do. And in related news, scientists discovered an arsenic-munching germ.

A piece of piloting that rivaled the Miracle on the Hudson: The giant Airbus that nearly crashed after an engine blew.

OSCAR® WATCH: The National Board of Review has picked the film “The Social Network” as their top movie of the year (an early signal for how the Academy Awards will turn out).

    I’m pretty sure South Panola could beat TCU. And the Confederacy would rise again, march through Florida, and push Miami into the ocean if they stole Dan Mullen from MSU. The sound of the cowbells ringing would be reminiscent of the war drums getting louder as the barbarian hordes descended upon Rome. Gators would hide, snakes would burrow, and Cuba would have to build a seawall from the people fleeing the slaughter. Even scorned women would be in awe of the fury of State fans.

    Now, now Marshall. Get it right: “Friday Free-For-All: Discussion, friends and air cleaners. Don’t ask.” It’s AIR FILTERS. And mine need changing. Badly.

    And don’t forget the popcorn!
