When Nixon met Elvis ...

I promise to get back to subjects such as how many FISA "sessions" the FBI recorded in 2006 (27 million) and how J. Edgar Hoover planned to suspend the right to habeas corpus and jail 12,000 Americans for disloyalty because I know you are DYING to hear my take on all that. Tonight, however, I am working down my Libraries 2.0 activity list and created my own search tool on Rollyo. Rollyo, which I had no idea existed and which I think ROCKS and is totally the direction searches are going. I saw Mary Ellen Bates talk like 50 years before the Internet was a household term about the direction searches were going -- she was all over this but it wasn't the Rollyo angle. TOTALLY BRILLIANT. Of course the search I created was BRILLIANT. It is a mess of sites that feature public domain images. I chose the sites listed below -- just in case you can't find my highly, highly useful, pragmatic search tool among the millions on Rollyo -- and, once created, searched for Nixon and Elvis, which delivered the wonderful photo featured here.

OK. That's it for now because I have to cruise on to No. 13, which is on social bookmarking.
May you have much love and burning of TVs in alleys in 2008!
