I’d like to see this woman try this trick in her homeland, say, protesting Syrian support for the Iraqi “insurgents.”
And I wonder why these nutballs think that watching mental defectives do a strip tease and covering their naked selves with dumb graffitti is somehow going to make us hit ourselves in the forehead, forget all of the logic and facts that got us to our positions, and say “Of course! The war is Iraq is wrong!”
Only in America.
Patrick Ruffini has some thoughts on the decade since Netscape’s IPO.
My prediction was borne out. Except it was a day late. And on the other side of the country.
Cathy Young has a piece in today’s Boston Globe in which she quotes yours truly. I’ll probably have more on this subject later in the week, but this is my last day in California, and I’ve got a lot to do before I head back to FL tonight.

David Adesnick says teach the controversy.
I mean, most of them think money and greed are evil, anyway, right?
Amidst the financial scandal at Air America (which (not so) shockingly, seems to get little attention from the MSM), they seem to be having trouble meeting their payroll.
This (though off topic) is a little irritating, though:
Written by company Vice President/Finance Sinohe Terrero (this article confims Terrero’s corporate role), it inferred the payroll processing company was to blame…
No. It implied. The author of the above inferred. This confusion between the two words, apparently suffered by many, is one of my pet peeves (like the inability to distinguish between “loose” and “lose”).
Taylor Dinerman has a new review of an old book. There seem to be only two copies available. With all of the Apollo nostalgia going around these days (especially at NASA) I’d bet there’s a market for a new printing. The proceeds would go to a brave and noble woman, who could use some legal (and sadly, medical) help.
Remember all the Bush haters who promisedthreatened to move to Canada if he won? Well, it turns out that American emigration to Canada actually dropped after the election.
Maybe it’s because they heard the (no doubt terrible) news that the Canadian government may be on the verge of giving up its monopoly on health care.
Ah, well. They’ll alway have Paris. Not that they followed through on that promisethreat, either.
Back from the Central Coast. I had a delightful dinner with Bill Whittle (and Dana, for those who read EjectEjectEject) and Transterrestrial web designer (among other things) Bill Simon. And I (almost fearlessly) predict a flawless entry and landing for the Shuttle in a couple hours).
[Update at 7:40 AM EDT]
Well, OK, I wasn’t considering the (always-present) possibility of subpar weather.
I’m driving up to Cambria for a reunion with some long-time friends and former roommates. Back tomorrow, unless Motel 6 has wireless, in which case I may check in from there.
…ago we employed the first nuclear weapon ever used in war on the city of Hiroshima, Japan. A few days later, we dropped another on Nagasaki. Neither we, nor anyone else has done so since. Let’s hope that it remains that way.
