Off To Mojave

Unfortunately, not me. Clark Lindsey is going, though, for tomorrow’s historic flight. Here’s hoping he finds an internet connection.

I’ll have to watch on teevee again (which, truth be told, actually provides a better view of the flight than being there does). Still, I’d like to be in attendance, but now that I’m in Florida, it’s a lot harder to justify a cross-country trip for it than a two-hour drive up from LA.

So That’s What He Meant

It seems to be a work in progress–the HTML is crude, and the scoring isn’t working correctly on the “Coalition” question yet (what do you expect from a UN project?), but I think I’ve found the Global Test that John Kerry was talking about the other night.

For those into sixties nostalgia, Iowahawk has dredged up a long-lost script of that old western, Johnny Nuance. I’ll bet that guy could have passed the Global Test blindfolded, and with one treaty tied behind his back.

[Sunday afternoon update]

The scoring seems to be working properly on the coalition-building portion of the test now.

They Never Learn

Another victory for the blogosphere over a professor who tried to resurrect the authenticity of the fake CBS memos.

But, hey, what’s a little academic fraud? It’s all in the service of the cause, right? The most important thing is to get rid of chimpie.

What frightens me is that the ability to create such fakery without getting caught (given a little intelligence, something in short supply so far on the part of the Bush haters) is improving every day. Authenticating documents (and records of events) is going to become a major societal issue in the future, and it’s starting to become one already.
