According to Michele’s readers it’s Elephant by The White Stripes. I can’t say much about it. I can only hum “Seven Nation Army” and don’t know any other songs. I never got into the whole garage band scene. Thanks to all of you who voted for Nirvana’s Nevermind. You tried.

Jimmie at The Sundries Shack is not pleased with President Bush’s remarks about Social Security:
So instead of an egalitarian system where you get back what you contribute plus some interest on your “contribution”, we’re going to have a system where the rich again subsidize the poor? Instead of the regular old Ponzi Scheme, we’re going [...]
In his primetime news conference President Bush said energy prices could go down by helping “growing energy-consumers overseas, like China and India, apply new technologies to use energy more efficiently and reduce global demand of fossil fuels.” Efficency only goes so far, but it should certainly help developing economies like China and India. What will [...]
Rick at Stones Cry Out writes about “blog fatigue” and how he solved his:
I’ll admit that the current SCO format is largely the result of blog fatigue. I appreciate many things about the new SCO and my partners, but most of all, I appreciate the fact that blogging is more enjoyable without all the pressure [...]
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is accused of puffing up their circulation numbers for nine years in a lawsuit filed today. Shorewest Realtors is seeking class action status and says they have evidence of fraud from current and former newspaper employees.

The Appleton Post-Crescent has a little more on Sharon Rosenfeld giving up her Packers tickets instead of going to jail. Her choice is part of a sentence that includes two years probation. Not bad for using her union for short-term loans. If I were the judge I would have made her give up the tickets [...]
It’s one thing to take control of Hong Kong, one of the most free places on earth. But messing with the city’s most popular cuisine may have pushed residents over the edge:
A report by the Hong Kong government suggesting that eating many kinds of dim sum regularly may be bad for your health is threatening [...]
I was tempted to trek over to Madtown to see Camille Paglia promoting her latest book Break, Blow, Burn, but I then I wouldn’t have written all this good stuff tonight. * Ann Althouse was there. She has some pictures with “Text to follow!”
UPDATE: Ann Althouse reports Paglia was her usual hyper self. Contradictory [...]
In the past week I’ve been listening to Adam Curry’s (yes, of MTV fame) podcast Daily Source Code. While I don’t envision a TAM podcast anytime soon (it feels too complicated and time consuming) I’m interested in where it will go. Curry is the one to listen to to find out. DSC is pretty geeky.

Daniel Drezner’s reaction to Vladimir Putin’s state-of-the-nation speech was a negative as mine.
What the hell is Khakamada talking about?–ed. Well, if you read Jeremy Page’s account of the speech in the London Times, “Putin tried to make peace with Russia’s increasingly critical clique of influential businessmen yesterday by ordering his tax police to stop ‘terrorising’ [...]
Sharon Rosenthal seriously considered it, but she gave up her Green Bay Packers season tickets instead of going to jail. I heard the news on WISN radio and will post a link when the story hits the web.
UPDATE: We now have WBAY in Green Bay confirming the story.

It’s not a bad idea to protect DVD filtering technology to allow parents to edit movies for their children. The Family Entertainment and Copyright Act empowers parents who feel they’re barely treading water in the media ocean.
However, other DVD users besides parents protecting their children from excessive sex and violence could use some empowering. Right [...]
