TCS wants me to run around CPAC again next February. So I’m going to Washington, D.C., hang out in Bloggers Alley, and see if I can get insulted by Wonkette again.
Karol from Alarming News is invited back too. I wonder who else.

On science subjects Wikipedia may be as accurate as the Encyclopedia Britannica. However, when it comes to preening egos it’s turning into a joke:
Sleuthing into the accuracy of the open-source web encyclopedia known as Wikipedia has led to the door of its founder, Jimmy Wales.
Public edit logs reveal that Wales has changed his own Wikipedia […]
First, on the Association of College and Research Libraries weblog they state:
Today, the University issued a statement. Though they aren’t contesting the student’s claim, and they are protecting his identity at his request, they offer some reassurance that their library, at least, didn’t participate in violating the student’s rights. The student says he made the […]
Want to see what happens at a chessboxing match? Yes, I know you’re all shouting, “YES! YES! YES!” Here you go, a match from Berlin. Sorry, I think the captions are in French.

Despite movements in Nepal and India Maoism is an ocean of blood on 20th Century history rather than a serious threat to U.S. security. A Massachusetts newspaper reported a student received an unexpected meeting from Department of Homeland Security agents after requesting Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung AKA Mao’s “Little Red Book.” Interestingly, no agency […]
In today’s press conference President Bush defended NSA spying on terrorists that was revealed last week in the NY Times. For someone defending his actions he wasn’t defensive. In fact, he was angry the program was revealed. He told reporters, “My personal opinion is it was a shameful act for someone to disclose this program […]
People in the U.S. really, really want an Xbox 360. Some want it so much they are shelling out $600 on eBay for these machines. Yet they’re plentiful in Japan and running for a little over $300 (35,000 yen). I smell an abitrage play. If only I could read Japanese to see how much Amazon.co.jp […]
Somehow the House of Representitives thinks Americans have a God-given right to television. Thus, they want to spend $1.5 billion for converter boxes when TV goes all digital in 2009. I didn’t know this was such a pressing issue. Heck, in four years most people’s TV will be broken and replaced anyway. The Heritage Foundation’s […]
Since this is ultimately a political issue Bush bashers will have a problem. They can’t argue the government has no right to ever secretly intercept communications without a warrant because any reasonable person could imagine a (non-24) scenerio. A few days into the story and already Bush critics are digging into line-by-line analysis of FISA […]

Earlier this week, I was chastised for making the point that no one has come forward with any claims of abuse of the Patriot Act. DJ said that’s because people are legally prevented from talking about it. But when has that ever stopped the ACLU or the NY Times? You’d think the former would have […]
A UCLA-led study has concluded that much of the media leans to the left.
While the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal is conservative, the newspaper’s news pages are liberal, even more liberal than The New York Times. The Drudge Report may have a right-wing reputation, but it leans left. Coverage by public television […]
Not only is Glenn Reynolds a weblogging superstar, but he’s also a nice guy:
CHRISTMAS/HOLIDAY ADVICE to blog readers: Don’t do this here, as I don’t need it, but go to one of your favorite blogs and make a donation or send an appreciative email. Especially one of the smaller blogs, where the attention is especially […]
As cold as it was outside the Milwaukee Bucks were even colder inside the Bradley Center Saturday night. I witnessed live inside the arena a team out of gas from a hard-fought victory the night before in Boston. When their three-pointers didn’t go in their layups clanged off the iron. The Bucks got down early […]
The Hispanic advocacy group Voces de la Frontera went beyond their free speech rights and harassed State Senator Cathy Stepp outside her home last night. Stepp described the obnoxious tactics:
On the evening of Friday, December 16th, a group of people advocating the issuing of drivers’ licenses to non-citizens appeared outside my windows yelling and attempting […]
