Pre-Sabbath link dump

I'm doing a link dump a bit early today because I have about 30 windows open right now. There may be a second link dump before the Sabbath starts in two and a half hours.

The Chicago White Sox are planning to put President Obama's Hopenchange logo on White Sox caps this season. Fortunately, all of my Chicago-bred family members (Mrs. Carl is from Chicago as is son-in-law number 1) are Cubs fans....

Sticking with the baseball theme, author John Updike passed away this week. This is a link to his famous Hub fans bid Kid adieu - an essay about Red Sox star Ted Williams' last game in 1960 (no, I was not there). Hat Tip: Powerline.

On to something a bit more within this blog's normal fare, an Ohio 'charity' is threatening Pajamas Media with a lawsuit over its publishing a story documenting the 'charity's ties with Hamas. I hope truth is a defense to a libel suit in Ohio. At least they're not in England.

Is a Hindu state in the offing? (Hat Tip: Puneet).

Mrs. Carl sent me this link to Inaugural words: 1789 to the present.

A look at the language of presidential inaugural addresses. The most-used words in each address appear in the interactive chart below, sized by number of uses. Words highlighted in yellow were used significantly more in this inaugural address than average.

Hmmm.
