Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Uygur v. Mirengoff and Hinderaker: Fight!
Cenk Uygur is defending himself from Republican bloggers calling him "hysterical" on News Bloggers. It's unfortunately become a fairly typical naming calling flame war. Uygur's latest post says "If conservative readers only believe conservative commentators, and vice versa, then agreement becomes impossible. There have to be neutral arbiters of fact and we have to be able to agree on some things as clearly true." Which reminds me of this NPR story on Geoff Nunberg's book Talking Right.
