"Idiotarian"?

I must read this . It looked good at a glance, anyway. But me too sleepy to read now. The book he refers to sounds good, too.

Supreme Court: Free Speech not a Crime

A new ruling by the Supreme Court strikes down the mis-use of the RICO act to restrict free speech... 8 to 1. Common sense.. actually followed? I am stunned.

One weird thing about the yahoo article... why is it listed under health?

Carnival Troubles

Venetians are getting upset that there are so many tourists coming in for Carnival... but I could have sworn that Carnival had pretty much died off but was brought back a few decades ago for the tourists. Am I wrong? Actually, I wish I was in New Orleans right now... this is the perfect weekend, the weekend before the big one. At least I can keep in touch with the important stuff via live webcam. Not as much fun as going to the traditional Mardi Gras parades, though.

"No Blood for Oil"
To be honest, I think I'm one of the four to five people on the entire planet that doesn't have a strong opinion at this moment as to whether we should go to war in Iraq. I am pretty much certain that the "No Blood for Oil" argument is pretty much bogus. Peter Ferrera does a good job of illustrating this bogosity.

Ms.-Fire
An article by Catherine Seipp does a good job of portraying the disconnect between advocacy groups (in this case, feminist groups) and the demographic that they claim to represent (actual holders of two X chromosomes).

Sucker Punched
A good, to-the-point editorial from the the National Catholic Register on how scandals in the Church have been exploited. In the same issue, an article giving an update on the subject. It's incredibly scary that they are going after the seal of the Confessional. It doesn't matter that it would violate consciences (or for that matter the First Amendment); there's political hay to be made by politicians. And lawyers. Sigh.

By the by... the register is a good paper... why not subscribe?

Conventional Wisdom -- an Oxymoron Whose Time Has Come
Take a gander at this survey by the Pew Research Center. There are soem unexpected results in there, at least if you harken to the Conventional Wisdom. For example, a higher percentage of conservatives listen to NPR than liberals. (It would have been interesting if they'd included Pacifica in the survey.)

All we are saying... is give math a chance

Aerial photography was used to accurately measure the croud size at the anti-War demos. The number originally reported to be 200,000 - 250,000 people protesting in San Francisco was actually... 65,000.

I still remember going to a Dukakis rally at Justin Herman Plaza where the article in the afternoon edition paper about it was on the newsracks before it was over, reporting a huge number of attendees... the same electoral tidal wave that carried him to the White House. There was no way that the story could have been written after the rally had started. That was when I learned that the estimates in newspapers are, essentially, crap.

Cheeseball Commercial Alert!

It's a broad... It's a plane... No... It's Bail Bond Girl! "Honey, you've got to get me out of here... It's almost shower time!" Check out video of this get out of gaol gal. You gotta love it. This reminds me of the wacky commercials that they used to have on the local stations down in L.A when I was growing up. Some of those images are still lurking in the back of my consciousness... a potentially scary thought. I have a theory that "Angela Garcia Owner/Operator" is really just the secret identity of... Bail Bond Girl. Great Caesar's Ghost! Holy flying BBGs, Batman! (Or should that be "BBWs"? ) She flies, just like a bumble bee!

"How to find sugar daddy".

This book apparently is worse than you think. The author positioning herself as helping women marry rich... she is trying to help women get .. ahem... cough.... "operating capital" from wealthy business men. So they can invest it. (Maybe she was up late one night watching Night Shift? ) Sniff... sniff... I'm gettin all misty here. Call me a romantic.

This seems to be yet another indication that we are taking a bad turn.

Monkey See, Monkey Do

So a while ago, some anti-War Brits we poking fun at Tony Blair but representing him as a poodle (ie, lap dog to Bush). Then it started showing up in U.S. sources.. you'd think that that would play differently in the US; in England it would be an insult, to an American, it's a big "Who Cares?" if a foreign government official gets insulted.

Now, apparently, Aussie protestors are aping the Brits. Can't anyone generate their own ideas? I suspect the problem is that TV's "vast wasteland" is now international... monkey watch TV, monkey do what TV do... Blair, Bush and Howard are just characters on TV, after all.

Well, according to this article and others, the phrase "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" was coined by none other than Bart Simpson. (Check out the whole article, it's fairly amusing.) That's close, but no cigar. It was actually Groundskeeper Willie

Well, apparently France isn't exactly helping it's image... at least with the Brittish, according to Boris Johnson writing in The Daily Telegraph .

Cheese-Eatin' Surrender Monkeys!

Does anyone remember who came up with that name for the French? It's certainly better than "Frogs". I was never quite sure where "frogs" came from. Where's the connection? Frogs are constantly in water. In contrast, as Disney found out, they sure had a problem with bathing every day so that they wouldn't stink up their Euro-Mickey suits.

Now Cheese-eatin' Surrender Monkeys... that's a good one. It's colorful and accurate. Where was I?

Oh yeah. Who came up with "Cheese-Eatin' Surrender Monkeys"? I'm fairly cetain it was David Letterman .. but can't be sure. It would have been years and years ago.. maybe even during the NBC days.

David Letterman, Political Guru. Gotta love it.
Well, here's his insight on Iraq. Let's all learn from Dave.
