Now This

This blog is now read by more machines than humans: RSS robots, spam-laying insectopoids, echoes of blog-gathering .edu projects. This essentially is the state of affairs that all human activities w

Cleaning Up the Nation

Austin Bay:

If Air America were a conservative radio network its corrupt funding trail and cynical abuse of a poverty program would be front page news at the NY Times and full-time mega-scandal at

Freedom. I am now the proud new owner of a Gateway 6020GZ laptop, perfect for students and others with limited means. I can now go into a Starbucks or a Barnes & Noble and look like I'm doing some

Fallujah Fonda

Uh-oh. From the Telegraph comes this exciting news:

Jane Fonda is returning to anti-war activism and embarking on a cross-country tour to call for an end to US military operations in Iraq.

John Pilger: Partner in Terrorism

In an outrageous piece of terrorist propaganda appearing on the cover of today's New Statesman, John Pilger puts the blame for the 7/7 London attacks not on the terrorists, but rather on Tony Blair:

Spartac.us

One day I noticed quite a lot of hits on a picture I posted with this post, most of which did not originate from this site. The pic has become somewhat popular with gay teenage bandwidth-thieves who r

A Gitmo Transcript

Q: Please come to order. This inquest has been called to investigate claims that several copies of the Koran may have been mishandled by personnel at this facility. The next witness is before the pane

Fraudulent Diplomacy

So let me get this straight. Kerry is claiming that he'll be better at diplomacy than President Bush has been. In fact, as regards the Iraq war, that's the only factor where he differs from Bush in a

Ottawa Freedom

A Complaint from Iran

Steven Den Beste has been doing some cold, Jacksonian calculating about what it would take for the US to go nuclear in this war, and what the consequences may be. A guy (?) from Tehran later wrote Den

Various and vaguely dissatisfied buzzing at Democracy Project, Volokh, and Wizbang over the FEC's proposed rules change (doc at Democracy Project) that purports to legalize free speech. This gets my h

Maybe not so new actually. But anyway this story reached a peak with this post at GayPatriot where he signs off, seemingly permanently. There's a good rundown on what happened by Christian Grantham at

Sassy Islamists

There are a few points about the "sassy" Dilpazier Aslam Guardian article I haven't seen elsewhere. To catch up, read this Daily Ablution post, if you haven't already. This Harry's Place post is also

I Will Nofollow

Here's a ramp up in the arms race between comment spammers and blogs/search engines that I think will help a lot:

Three major search engines have partnered with blog software developers to combat s

It's Just Too Much

Glenn's linked to this, so everyone knows about it already.

NEW YORK — Filmmaker Michael Moore's bodyguard was arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon in New York's JFK airport Wednesday night...

Moore's 2003 Oscar-winning film "Bowling for Columbine" criticizes what Moore calls America's "culture of fear" and its obsession with guns.

It's just too much. My irony-detector just exploded and I think a piece of it lodged in my brain. I can't come up with any smart remarks. All I've got is a long, deep sigh.
