Linking Before Packing
I'm packing today; I'll try to post some later today. Right now I've got a big fat backlog of paychecks to deposit and a big stack of books on tape to check out from the library...
Some miscellaneous links from the morning:
- There's got to be a point at which this tide shifts:
If the industry needed a wake-up call, it got one last month, when Luisel Ramos, an Uruguayan model who had been advised to lose weight, died of heart failure after taking her turn on the catwalk. She reportedly had gone days without eating, and for months consumed only lettuce and diet soda. (NYT)
- Pam Spaulding talks about talking about race better than I could. Definitely check it out. (Pandagon)
- Told y'all Morgan & Morgan (where Charlie Crist's running mate works) was a trashy law firm:
The trial lawyer who co-hosted a major fundraiser Thursday in Orlando for Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist is under investigation by the Florida Bar for what was described in a complaint as illegal ''patient brokering'' with a chiropractic chain.
The lawyer, John Morgan, heads Morgan & Morgan, which specializes in personal injury cases, among other things. Crist's running mate, state Rep. Jeff Kottkamp of Fort Myers, is a lawyer at the firm. (Miami Herald)
- I just found this blog: White Trash BBQ. AWESOME.
