Frank Sidebottom on Granada Reports in the 80’s!
Possible Sadie Lou Redesign
This is still pretty preliminary. It’s based on this Meta color scheme. Any thoughts?

Yankee Pot Roast: William Carlos Williams Is a Really Bad Roommate
There isn’t all that much I like about NY Penn Station except in the NJ Transit terminal there is poetry engraved into the walls. One of these poems is “Red Wheelbarrow” by William Carlos Williams. William Carlos Williams didn’t write the poems in the link above, but he could have.
McCain is Really Old
A website dedicated to the obvious.
The Choice
The New Yorker editors endorse (surprise!) Barack Obama. It’s a thoughtful overview of the divide between McCain and Obama on the most relevant issues of the day.

Cheers,
Nevan
Someone fire their agents! 26 actors who deserve better careers
The A.V. Club gives their picks. Given that the recent Batman movie kind of slighted his character, I’d say Aaron Eckhart also belongs on this list. (If you don’t believe me, watch him opposite Helena Bonham Carter in Conversations with Other Women)
