…the terrorists are having a major impact on our society. There have been enough successful attacks (9/11, London, and Madrid to name the most obvious) that each foiled attack still heightens the public fear level, causing a predictable government overreaction. Today’s news will certainly cost us a little more freedom and a lot more treasure.
It became a standing joke in the months after 9/11 attacks that, if we did not continue some trivial activity, “Then the terrorists have won.” Sadly, it’s no joke.
Doesn’t Even Get The Tops Of Flip Flops Wet
Bridget Johnson has the most shallow analysis of the Mideast war ever.
I like it, though.

Another Rectification Of Names

Pet Peeve
Two, actually. Voicemail systems for credit cards that insist you use voice, and don’t offer a keypad option.
But this one also bugged me. After giving me the confirmation number, it asks “Can I repeat that for you?”
The answer is obviously “yes,” and never going to be “no,” but that obvious grammatical logic would put me in an infinite loop. It irks me as a pedant. I wish it would ask instead “should I repeat that for you?” If it were a human, I would joke with it, saying, of course you can, but you don’t need to. But with a machine, it’s simply irritating.
