Link roundup

1. Corgis:

Pembrokes should have a "fairy saddle" marking on the side of their shoulders caused by changes in the thickness, length and direction of hair growth. The phrase "fairy saddle" arises from the legend that Pembroke Welsh Corgis were harnessed and used as steeds by fairies.

2. Bold accusation by the NY Daily News:

The “model” civilization that’s sprung up at Zuccotti is itself increasingly divided between the stakeholders in the nascent movement who feel invested in the emerging economic, social and cultural causes of “the 99%,” and hangers-on, including a fast-growing contingent of lawbreakers and lowlifes, many of whom seem to have come to Zuccotti in the last week with the cynical encouragement of the NYPD.

3. Relatedly, part of a long post by Megan McArdle on the Occupy movement being a battle between the elite, and the people realizing that they aren't going to make it into the elite:

It's not entirely crazy to suspect, as Orwell did, that this has something to do with money. Specifically, you sneer at the customs of the people you might be mistaken for. For aside from a few very stuffy conservatives, no white people I know sneer at hip-hop music, telenovelas, Tyler Perry films, or any of the other things often consumed by people of modest incomes who don't look like them. They save it for Thomas Kinkaid paintings, "Cozy cottage" style home decoration, collectibles, child beauty pageants, large pickup trucks***, and so forth.

Nintendogs and Cats, sells 1,700,000

That sequel to Nintendogs has now sold almost two million copies! Standing at one-million-seven-hundred-thousand copies sold. This is an awesome feat for a handheld weird game about dogs and barely about cats, just so they can have cats in the title.
