Oh My God! Is Brit Hume Suggesting Christian Evangelists Can Help Tiger Woods Because of Their Deep Experience With Sex Scandals?
Is Fox News analyst Brit Hume advising Tiger Woods to seek help from a religion that finds sex so threatening and icky (e.g., virgin birth) that he'll never want to do it again? Or is he suggesting that Tiger Woods can get damage control advice from the following evangelists (the dates following their names indicate the date of their scandals when their public image was exposed as a fraud)?

Lost Generation
This short video won a prize in a contest sponsored by AARP that encouraged young people to imagine themselves at age 50. It is not, strictly speaking, an original work. "Lost Generation" is based on a prize-winning 2006 Argentinian Political Advertisement, "The Truth". "Lost Generation" is therefore a product of our remix culture, where young people (and older bloggers like me) are taking the expression and ideas created by others and remixing them. This begs the question, should a remix of someone else's original work qualify as prize-winning creativity?

BBC Hypes GM's Hydrogen Car, Overlooking GM's History with the Electric Car
I am deeply suspicious of GM's interest in hydrogen. Before we get excited about hydrogen vehicles from GM, we need to hear from GM about why the EV1 was eliminated from GM's line.
Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006) is a disturbing documentary about how GM gamed the system 10 years ago (including hyping the potential of hydrogen fuel and spreading disinformation about electric cars) to fight energy-efficiency mandates in California. A large part of Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006) is an expose of GM's efforts to undermine the demand for electric cars, and then to take back every EV1 and dispose of them.
