It's only Friday if Jeremy Lin says it's Friday. Does he say it's Friday? Ok, then. It's Friday.

The 1st Five: Megadeath's Dave Mustaine thinks Rick Santorum is a respectable guy. Which is a problem.

Occasional Planet: Walter Cronkite telling the truth made it easy to be a liberal.

Going Concern: Rick Santorum may be a champion of zygotes, but he's a cheapskate when it comes to charitable giving.

Language Log: Getting Jeremy Lin - and society - all wrong.
