Mike's Blog Round Up
February 9, 2015

Greeting Crooks, Good Morning Liars - We start our week looking at the Media, who should be looking at themselves (“Mirror, mirror on the wall, which one of us will take the fall?,” Judy Miller did not say) as Brian Williams’ Iraq War story kerfuffle plays out.

No More Mister Nice Blog explains to us why Brian Williams should be low on the media enemies list.

The Rectification of Names examines Megan McArdle's economic analysis of everyone she knows, including her microplane grater.

Every Goddamn Day is not looking forward to Harper Lee's new book, Go Set a Watchman.

Bonus Track: We are shaken, not stirred by The Suits of James Bond with 50 years of Bond's sartorial excellence in one info graphic.

Round-up by Tengrain who blogs at Mock, Paper, Scissors and at Liberland. You can follow Tengrain on the electric Twitter machine, too. Send tips, requests, and suggestions to mbru@crooksandliars.com (with "For MBRU" in the subject line).
