Some Tuesday links
I’ve been exhausted and haven’t had much free time lately, so instead of real content here are some media-related links.
1. Osama Bin Laden. Barack Obama. What’s the difference? They both look the same.
2. Talk about counting your chickens before they hatch. Did the reporter for this article ever stop and say, “Hey, maybe I should ask this guy to show some evidence that he will triple his book sales, rather than just reprinting his quotes without scrutiny.”
3. I’ve expressed doubt before that book blurbs from mid-list authors help sell books. So it goes without saying that blurbs between MFA buddy-system poets aren’t worth the paper on which they’re written.
4. The New York Times wasn’t wrong for writing that article about McCain. We were wrong for misunderstanding it.
