So I Took Some Anonymous Advise

So I took the advise of the "anonymous" person that left a comment on my Pride post and submitted some pictures to the SFGate. It's not like I was on assignment or anything but it was very friendly when they accepted all five of my submissions and the Reader Photo's section on the front of the gate was filled with my pictures. Here's the screen grab. Mine are the tiny black and white pictures at the bottom of the page. 

My Francis Scott Key Moment

Legend has it that Francis Scott Key woke to an enormous flag flying after the 25-hour British bombardment of Fort McHenry promoting him to write the verses that would become our national anthem. One of the first things I found in my inbox this morning was a link to Jason Linkins in the Huffington Post about the fact that the Wall Street Journal had lived through the night. Linkins is using a necking metaphor in his piece saying that Rupert had failed to get to second base with the Bancroft family. Here is where I would re-write The Star Spangled Banner if I possessed better turn of the phrase than I actually do.

For another day at least the WSJ lives, although this particular dance may have more to do with price than anything else. This is some video from last week when the Bancroft's first cracked the door open to Murdoch. Here is the article it references.
