Links gone wild!

There has been much written about Citizens United vs. FEC, the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prompted dissent from no less a person than President Obama in his State of the Union address last week. (If you approved — and I didn’t — then presumably you would have been OK — and I wouldn’t have — with George W. Bush delivering a similar televised rebuke to justices who had no choice but to sit quietly and take it. It’s cheap no matter who does it.) But if you’re in the mood for further discussion of the issue, go here for famed First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams’ thoughts. It’s the smartest thing I’ve read on the subject.

Uncle Frank (who’s not really my uncle, and who might be a fugitive from justice for all I know, but that’s how he signs his name when he writes) sent along a link to this Web page. You probably won’t be able to read it, since it’s in Cyrillic, but it’s worth visiting for the images. It seems to be a record collector’s showcase for some of the bizarre old albums he’s acquired. Whatever the case, it’s hilarious. There are a few exposed bosoms, but it’s nothing that’ll get you in trouble at work unless you’re employed by the Southern Baptist Convention. My favorite is the album called “Music for Pleasure Time,” which shows a happy young woman with an arrow in her chest. Not my idea of pleasure, but I don’t judge.

Like everyone else, I have a secret life. I’ll keep mine a secret no more: I’m the Sleep Blogger. For the past two months, I’ve been writing about the world of slumber. No shilling, no selling, no pleasure arrows to the chest. Just good, clean fun. Check it out, and if you want to get the comment party started, be my guest.

    I’m partial to Sam the Drummer’s bed time stories. Nothing puts the kids more to sleep than the thump of a big band drum.

    Thanks, BDP. It’s the mother lode.
