Morning links
- This trailer for the new season of Homeland features no dialogue and a children’s choir singing “I’ll be Watching You”—which sounds potentially very awful, but is actually quite effective. (AV Club)
- I could say that it’s hard to determine who exactly in this supercut of rock stars acting ridiculous in interviews is the most ridiculous, but in fact it’s not even close. David Lee Roth, hands down. (NME)
- And you think your parents were tough. (Jezebel)
- Paul Ryan loves Rage Against the Machine. The feeling is not mutual. (Time)
- And it’s wedding bells for Rufus Wainwright. (Huffpo)

This if a bit off topic, but people who leave mean wills remind me of people who cut you off if you don’t thank them in exactly the way they want, after they give you something.
Though of course, the kind of nut who would enjoy thinking of how hurt someone will be by their will is much worse. Not that they realize that’s what they’re feeling. (Their lawyers probably tried to talk them out of it and failed.) It’s a rotten thing to do. As a person who believes in an afterlife, too, I think the person regrets it very much, and probably soon.
It’s the same kind of pre-meditation. If you give someone something in order to get something, it’s not really a gift. It’s a test.
My feeling is, if you’re really that picky, please do not give me any presents in the first place. I like you better from a distance. (Even though I do actually try to send thank yous. It’s fun.)
In the cases I’ve known this to happen, usually the other siblings will make up the difference.
I love your morning links. I find the Paul Ryan/Rage issue hilarious, as I’m a fan of both. I can’t stop chuckling…
