Random Thoughts - February 9, 2011

A few quick links today:

• Rappers prefer the Blackberry. I don't know why this surprises me, but it does.


• Mark Evans tells us not to multitask. Why? Because he can't multitask.


• Christopher Hitchens pays tribute to Ronald Reagan as only he can:By a large backhanded compliment


• In other Reagan news, Ron Reagan is not pleased that Sarah Palin was selected to speak at a tribute to his father.


• Eligible for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2015? Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Kurt Warner and Orlando Pace. Maybe we can just declare 2015 to be the celebration of the 1999 St. Louis Rams?


• Peter King takes Roger Goddell to task for censoring James Harrison's remarks during media day, calling Harrison's remark an interesting quote from one of the biggest stars in the game. Two points:
  1) Harrison is not anywhere close to one of the biggest starts in the game (Super Bowl or otherwise).
  2) How was what he said any different than what he said and done in the past? Harrison doesn't like the new rules on hits. We know this. It's not interesting that he would say this again.
