Today’s Good Life looks at the pros and cons of using certain songs at political rallies.
For example, Ronald Reagan used “Born in the U.S.A.,” even though most of the song isn’t too keen on America. And Hillary Clinton might want to rethink using the Bee Gees’ “Emotion.” (“It’s over and done, but the heartache lives on inside.”)
One thing we know for sure: R.E.M.’s “World Leader Pretend” is never a good idea, even if you’re Dennis Kucinich.
Prince William wanted to be on the front lines, and he’s going to get his wish. The British Royal Navy is sending him to the fierce waters of the Caribbean.
Just wait till he gets home and swaps war stories with his kid brother, Harry, who saw combat in Afghanistan: “There I was, on shore leave in Aruba, and the umbrella from my drink came at me like a spear.”
The Internet is filling up, and the European Union wants to do something about it. It’s pushing for a new system that would allow a virtually limitless number of Web addresses.
Back when Al Gore invented the Internet, 4.3 billion numeric addresses were established. Everyone thought that would be plenty, but that was before 3 billion people started blogging about their cats.
