Jesus-Elvis comparisons -- link via the Daily Vexation.


The American 100 -- a list of the most influential "Americans" (that is, USA Americans), courtesy of Mark Byron, with assistance from Eileen. It's an interesting list. It's tough to come up with a definitive list of 100 most influential people of any nation, or any era. Even to come up with a list for the 20th century would be a challenge. I applaud Mark for the effort, even if I disagree with some of his choices.


Speaking of rejection slips...and messy desks As I point out in the entry below, rejection slips inspired me to write poetry. Another writer, Mitch Wagner, recently mentioned discovering "A 1999 rejection slip for a humorous contemporary fantasy story" on his desk. At last, someone whose desk disorganization is worse than mine.


The stripper mom is not in the news right now, but people keep searching for her and end up here. Which is cool by me but has to be a bit of a letdown for those looking for Christina Silvas nude.
