Daniel Wiener thinks that the CA governor’s race may be a lot closer than the LA Times says.

Concerns that Tony Blair could lose control of his party over the Iraq issue seem to have been overblown.

This tightens the noose around Saddam’s neck a little more.

It just came out.

Anyone have any opinions? Should I upgrade, or wait for 8.1? My experiences with initial whole-number releases haven’t been encouraging, particularly with a new Gnu Compiler Collection.

Does anyone know what happened to Jeff Goldstein at Protein Wisdom? He hasn’t updated his site since the middle of August. He said he’d be off on a two week vacation, but that would have ended over a month ago.

I wonder what the media reaction would be if Bill Simon were to drop out of the California governor’s race this week and be replaced by Bill Jones or Dick Riordan?

I mean, the technology’s only been around for seventy years or so…

Apparently the thirty-three pounds of weapons-grade uranium supposedly seized by the Turks the other day is not not only not thirty-three pounds (turned out to be five ounces). It’s not even weapons grade. And it’s not even uranium.

I wonder how much fake uranium the Jihadis have been wasting their money on? These people are such dolts, there ought to be all kinds of sting operations that we could pull on them.

As originally reported by Rishawn Biddle, Glenn writes that Tikkun is whining about someone sending out fake emails, ostensibly from them, to make them look stupid. The gallant law professor implies that there is snark to be made of this, but like Rishawn, unavails himself of the opportunity.

Always up for the cheap shot, I’ll just comment that for all my satirical brilliance, I, for one, lack the imagination to come up with any fictional emails that could top the genuine articles for that purpose. Some folks are simply beyond satire.

Now there are reports that John “Jihad” Walker Lindh, the young Marin County man who went to Afghanistan to seek enlightenment and fight for a regime that executed homosexuals by toppling stone walls on them, was part of a gay love triangle in Pakistan.

If you wrote a novel like this, no one would believe it.
