With Jake MacGregor on hiatus, what’s to read, what’s to read? Well, until Jake’s adventures re-commence (and even afterward), there’s Sandy Sandfort’s The Resurrections of Robert Heinlein<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a Smashwords book, available in every conceivable electronic format. You can buy. But you can read the first 75 percent for free in most formats.<\/p>\n

Definitely a good read for Heinlein fans.<\/p>\n

For watching, here’s Jim Bovard doing his dissing of federal job-training programs<\/a> on MSNBC.<\/p>\n

Jeez, Jim looks more like a surly eccentric hermit than I do. (I am neither balding nor bearded, thank the fates.) But he talks reel gud. <\/p>\n

Wall Street Journal<\/i> and MSNBC in one week. Jim, don’t go getting a big head about this now …<\/p>\n

For your listening pleasure, there’s Michael W. Dean and Neema Vedadi’s latest podcast, “Moderates Are People Who Think Everything Should Be a Little Bit Illegal”<\/a> (good point there, guys).<\/p>\n

The podcast is an hour long, which I admit taxes my patience for ‘Net based media. But the 15 minutes I listened to were fun — even if they do speak of me as though I were some ancient and crumbling monument of freedomista culture.<\/p>\n

What I like best about Michael and Neema is that they have absolutely no reverence for anybody or anything. <\/p>\n

Their logo for the podcast is pretty good (and irreverent), too:<\/p>\n
