Weekend reading
It's been a mostly uneventful Friday, the 13th, though I saw a couple guys get cuffed by police at the grocery store after work, and the guy behind the counter at Dairy Queen kept me riveted with the tale of how he's designing an Obi-Wan Kenobi costume for the Star Wars premiere, a discussion I inadvertently sparked by ordering the Chicken Strip Basket.If you have some reading time on the 13th, 14th, or 15th, give these articles a go...
1. Slate culture critics debate whether or not TV is getting dumber.
2. Salon details the evolution trial in Kansas. (You'll have to watch a 10 sec. ad to get a site pass.)
3. The NY Times has a funny story about the financial lengths to which athletes will go to get their favorite uniform number. (This blog is obsessed with uniform numbers.) (Members only site, but free.)
4. An LA Times writer finds the inclusiveness of America in a baseball bobblehead.
5. The Sun-Times' new TV critic profiles Bill Maher.
"The Baseball Show on KXNO" will get a late start this weekend. The I-Cubs start at 3, so they may run till 5:30 or 6. Hopefully, no later than that.
