10 out of 10 people like me enjoy 8 out of 10 cats

Ahhhh, so nice to have the new season of 8 Out of 10 Cats back to delight me. This line from host Jimmy Carr re Sarah Palin:

Sarah Palin brings beauty, enthusiasm and charm to a job that requires experience, integrity and common sense.

Very nice. My only problem with that sum-up is that I find her neither beautiful or charming, and enthusiastic about all the wrong things.

careful what you say...on camera

Courtesy of Maggie I discovered this fantastic little comparison piece by Jon Stewart. Nothing like sitting back and letting people's own words condemn them.

the book i won't be reading this week

I finished the Cory Doctorow book and I'm looking around for something new. I decided to go non-fiction and happened across a book on DailyLit called 100 Ways to Succeed/Make Money by Tom Peters. Now I'd like to make some money. I _almost_ signed up to start reading it.

And then I read these recommendations:

In no small part, what American corporations have become is what Peters has encouraged them to be. (The New Yorker)

Peters is...the father of the post-modern corporation. (Los Angeles Times)

We live in a Tom Peters world. (Fortune)

I think I'll pass.
