Quickies: Don't call him D-Mac

• A bit of housekeeping: Yes, the links are darker now. Easier to read? And in case you're wondering, re the essay yesterday: My plan for now is to do a few per week, say three. But we'll see where that leads.

• Ahh, Jerry Mondesire says that Donovan McNabb doesn't care about black people. He says that McNabb changed from a running quarterback to a passer and that made him a worse player and it was race-related. Um, okay. All I have to say: Football-wise, running quarterbacks haven't quite done so well, have they? Or did I forget the six Super Bowls Fran Tarkenton and Michael Vick have won? [Attytood]

• I didn't know there was a list like this, and it's kind of amusing: Santa Claus tops Forbes' Fictional 15. Not that he's not real. Oh snap! Somehow I think Forbes just crushed the dreams of a million kids. [Life, Family at al]

• If you're into the whole "stuffing your face with good food thing," The Reading Terminal Market is now open on Sundays. Mmm... cookies. [Metroblogging Philadelphia via dragonballyee]

• Being fans of local community newspapers and the pointless stories contained within -- and a media nerd also -- I was excited to read this, even though it's from England: Shopping cart found 30 minutes from store. Oh, man. That really might be the most boring story in the history of newspapers. [Londonist]

So shopping carts are "trolleys" in London. Who knew?
