This from the LA Times?????

I can't believe it, I agree with an LA Times editorial. They think the folks at Disney were foolish to slow the spinning of the tea cups and are bemoaning the fear of lawyers that encouraged the change.

Mouse Chess

Kevin Yee over at Miceage.com summarizes Eisner's precarious position:

Where is this heading? Well, we have a few more answers than we did last week. The split from CEO and Chairman is unlikely to placate everyone, and Eisner’s nightmare is unlikely to end any time soon. But I’ve been predicting since the Comcast offer first appeared that we’re in the midst of a chain of events that will eventually lead to Eisner’s complete ouster, and I stand by that. Comcast might press ahead, renew its bid, sweeten its offer, or even withdraw. Shareholders might continue to howl for Eisner’s head, or be placated for the time being. But the endgame is a replacement for Eisner – it’s all but certain. It’s even possible that Mitchell was promoted just to buy some time while the Board searches for a replacement for Eisner.

I agree with Yee, Eisner is toast.

Koreans for Kerry

Unfortunately, it's a North Korean, courtesy of Shark Blog:

North Korea has never had a real election, doesn't believe in democracy and wouldn't dream of putting the political fate of "Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il in the hands of ballot-wielding commoners. But it does have an election strategy — as far as the United States is concerned.

The regime in Pyongyang, analysts say, is rooting for virtually anyone other than George W. Bush to be the next U.S. president.That's why many observers are expecting little progress at the six-party talks aimed at halting North Korea's nuclear program that started yesterday in Beijing.

I would daresay that terrorists are also on the "anybody but Bush" bandwagon. All the more reason we should stay with our horse.

(Devotional tip: However it turns out, I am constantly reminding myself that God isn't a Democrat or a Republican. Therefore, although the elections are fairly important in a worldly sense (and I encourage all to vote), God works through and despite our faulty world governments.)

Swen Song

Correction: Swen Nater doesn't run Coscto, but is a 'Director of Community Outreach' as evidenced by this webpage.

I was wondering why I didn't see his name in the annual reports. . .

Good 'ol Bill Walton, always willing to hyperventilate at a moment's notice.

HOLY COW

Another stunning vote from Super Tuesday and it doesn't involve Kerry: Eisner is opposed by 40% of shareholders. Roy Disney and Stanley Gold were hoping for 20%.

YOWZA.

Einser you ARE the weakest link!

Say It Ain't So!

Like we should be surprised that Barry Bonds, Gary Sheffield and Jason Giambi are reported to have received steroids from their personal trainer. No mention as to wether the men actually jacked up on it.

Don't play the Vietnam card with me, John Kerry

LAURA BARTHOLOMEW ARMSTRONG at OpinionJournal.com uses the above line as the sub-title to her article on John Kerry. The daughter of a Marine who did not come back from Vietnam, a US Marine Widow and who has family in the military services offers her views on Kerry and his constant reminder he served in Vietnam.

This is a good article and well worth reading.
