"If he can get the passing thing down and handle the point, Jeremy Lin is a good enough player to start in the NBA and possibly star." <-- give this man retroactive props; he saw it in May of 2010. - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

Heh - Rodfather

I thought I was just joking, but check this out: "[Steve] Tisch, who produced the Academy Award-winning film "Forrest Gump," was asked if Lin's unlikely rise to stardom could translate to film. "There are possibilities," Tisch says. "Can Will Smith or Tom Cruise play him?"" - http://www.nydailynews.com/sports... - Andrew C (✓)

I love it: Nate Silver, who usually uses his giant stats brain for politics, gets his two bits in on Jeremy Lin - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"And to think, "Lin-sanity" almost ended before it even started. Sources with knowledge of the Knicks' thinking told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that the Knicks had been giving strong consideration to waiving Lin before his breakout game last Saturday against New Jersey." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"On a normal day, 4 billion shares of stock change hands on the New York Stock Exchange. One in 10 belongs to [Bank of America]. [...] Bank of America is the stock of the moment for high-frequency trading, the supercomputer-driven buying and selling that barely existed a few years ago and now accounts for as much as two-thirds of U.S. trading. " - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"Sometimes high-frequency traders don't even profit from the trade itself. They buy and sell shares at the same price and make money by sending large orders through the exchanges. NYSE, Nasdaq and others want to attract the most traders. So they offer rebates of 20 to 32 cents per 100 shares to traders who send in large orders. On the electronic exchange NYSE Arca, traders who can move... more... - Andrew C (✓)

""On my first day in my first job as a conservative activist, I was handed a copy of Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals,'" said Yates Walker at the Daily Caller last week. "It was given in part as a how-to manual for organizing political operations and galvanizing public support, but it was also given to show us what we were up against." In fact, at this point it could be argued that conservatives know and respect Alinsky more than liberals. Which just shows his evil genius!" - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"No word yet on whether Rick Santorum or Ron Paul are Alinsky yet. But now that the reverse-Alinsky is a thing in rightblogger circles, we expect it to be thrown around like pies in an old Keystone comedy. Eventually we expect this will lead to its natural conclusion: a rehabilitation of Alinsky by conservatives." - Andrew C (✓)

"Browse through the CPAC schedule, and you'll find workshops about taxes and the Constitution and foreign affairs. One of these workshops is not like the others, though: "Conservative Dating," an informational talk by professional dating coach Wayne Elise open to "conservative singles."" - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"On stage at CPAC on Thursday, Herman Cain endorsed his "friend" Joe the Plumber who is running for Congress in Ohio. Cain said this was based on the fact that Joe the Plumber had endorsed the '999' plan." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"Dear Mr. Haberny, After sending back your zip lock bag of gold painted rocks that you considered "14 karat gold nuggets found on a soul searching pilgrimage in Tibet with a quadriplegic hooker you picked up in Singapore", we find it is truly unfortunate that you can not understand the concept of "Do Not Contact Us Again"" - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"Perhaps the most interesting thing we've learned tonight is that Pentax has plans to take full advantage of the Pentax K-01's mirrorless construction. The new and unnamed SMC Pentax-DA XS lens, pictured above, will extend closer to the K-01's sensor than a normal K-mount lens would. The rear lens elements will be located in the area which would otherwise be blocked by the mirror on a DSLR. This introduces many new lens possibilities for the K-01 as well as future Pentax mirrorless cameras, also meaning that lenses can be made more compact!" - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet

"I've long been a great admirer of the work done by [Keith] Poole and his collaborators. What they do is use roll-call votes to map politicians' positions into an abstract issue space. [...] And it turns out that US politics really is one-dimensional, that once you know where politicians stand on a scale that clearly has to do with taxation and the size of the welfare state, you can predict their votes very well." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet
