In the middle of the NFL Draft but instead went to see the movie The Department of Ungentlemanly Warfare last night. It's a Guy Ritchie action-movie based on real events and it was OK for what it set out to do but hardly a classic. The Beekeeper was better.

Admit I watched the fist 10 picks of last night's NFL Draft. It was a combination of not much else to do, curiosity over who the Patriots would take with the third pick, and a fleeting hope that Roger Goodell would publicly be served papers by Jon Gruden's legal team.

- Norway bans smartphones in school.
- Tucker Carlson Episode 98 on racism in the US

Tonight is the start of the NFL Draft. Have long said that this event should be held in the city of that year's Super Bowl champion - so this draft should be held in Kansas City not Detroit. This provides an extra bonus to the champion (who traditionally drafts last) while also taking away power from the commissioner's office. Love this idea.

They say many a truth is said in jest. This may be a perfect example. Have long said that we're seeing new media replace the influence of corporate media in real time. We may be seeing the death of the Ivy League in real time too. As always - please Subscribe, hit the Like button, or share the Link. Thanks!

Yesterday was Earth Day. Originally Earth Day was a way to thank actor Eddie Albert on his birthday for all his environmental work but that's mostly forgotten as the day has largely become a marketing money grab. Still say that we should re-emphasize Arbor Day as a holiday because planting trees is much better for the Earth. Much better. As always - please Subscribe, hit the Like button, or share the Link.

Think most organizations would more accurately be said to have a marketing department or marketing director than a public relations (PR) or press secretary. Even more accurate to say these organizations usually have a propaganda department or spin doctor. As always - please Subscribe, hit the Like button, or share the Link. Thanks!

"I had an idea for some time back that I should like to do an article on The Moral Status of the Writer, or more frivolously, The Hell with Posterity I Want Mine Now. Not a frivolous article really it seems to me that all this yapping about writers selling themselves to Hollywood or the slicks or some transient propaganda idea, instead of writing sincerely from the heart about what they see around them - the people who make this kind of complaint, and that includes practically every critic who takes himself seriously, overlooks the point (I don't see how they can, but they do) that no writer in any age got a blank check. He always had to accept some conditions imposed from without, respect certain taboos, try to please certain people. It might have been the Church, or a rich patron, or a generally accepted standard of elegance, or the commercial wisdom of a publisher or editor, or perhaps even a set of political theories." - Raymond Chandler (from a 1947 letter)

Prior to WW II most deaths didn't happen on the battlefield. Would be curious to find out when suicide became such an epidemic among military personnel. (Via)
