Whirling While Tilting
1. What a surprise. From Democratic Central: Could it be that an anti-taxer is admitting he was wrong? I had no idea they knew how to do that. “A new revelation — you can’t maintain your infrastructure without tax money”:
Governor Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota is having a change of heart — after vetoing an increase in the gas tax two different times in recent years, all of a sudden he is willing to consider it…
(Virginia) Democrats should be hitting three themes here: 1. We have been deferring maintenance for too long in an effort to cut taxes. 2. Preventive maintenance done now is cheaper than failure later. 3. Now we have VDOT working right again, so we will be getting something close to what we pay for.
2. “Up there’s a heaven
Down there’s a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Oh, blackness, blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine”
-Joni Mitchell, “This Flight Tonight”
3. As seen on Post Secret: A new use for those “W04″ stickers.
4. From Wired: Aug. 7, 1991: Ladies and Gentlemen, the World Wide Web…
The web has changed a lot since Tim Berners-Lee posted, on this day, the first web pages summarizing his World Wide Web project, a method of storing knowledge using hypertext documents. In the months leading up to his post, Berners-Lee had developed everything necessary to make the web a reality, including the first browser and server.
5. New on the site: “When She Walks on Water”
6. Tilt-A-Whirl!
