Sunday links

Here’s a link for Gaelen: a Slate writer argues in favor of Andy Richter’s new show, which Conan O’Brien had a hand in.

Check out the Wikipedia entry on miniature Australian shepherds. They’re not a separate breed spec, just repeated selective breeding of smallish Aussies. While the mini Aussies in the photos on Wikipedia aren’t great, just check out this gal here and here to see how cute they can be. Average size is 25 to 40 pounds. What I find appealing about them is that the smaller size makes them more appropriate for apartment living and makes it easier for them to hit their needed exercise allotment each day (since they tire more rapidly). You can see a short video of that gal here. Hmm…

The ten-year anniversary of the McCarty-Lemiuex fight passed last week. What great memories that brings back…Thanks to the Wayne Fontes Experience for that.

Ghris shared an interesting article with Mino and I over e-mail that attempted to place the Gonzales/prosecutor firings in historical perspective, comparing it to Clinton’s summary dismissal of all prosecutors upon his entering the White House in 1993. Here’s another article that makes comparison to the Clinton years, from the Washington Post.

    Thanks. What bothers me is that everyone who writes positive things about the show seems to be completely oblivious to the existence of Andy Richter Controls the Universe, because everything they like about Andy Barker P.I. were things that were great about Andy Richter Controls the Universe except MUCH BETTER. Maybe if I hadn’t ever seen that show and didn’t realize how great it could be, I would be able to accept this lesser substitute with less complaint.
