Facebook has opened itself up to the non-college student and select workplace world. I signed up but I know no one in the Milwaukee, WI group. It’s because I’m older than your typical Facebook user. If you want an invite send me an e-mail (sean–at–theamericanmind–dot–com) or leave a comment with your e-mail address.

Moore’s Law continues. Instead of the number of transistors doubling on microchips every one to two years Intel looks to double the number of microprocessors periodically:
But the ultimate goal, as envisioned by Intel’s terascale research prototype, is to enable a trillion floating-point operations per second–a teraflop–on a single chip. Ten years ago, the ASCI Red […]
The judge in Saddam’s genocide trial tossed out the chief defendent for the third straight hearing:
New chief judge Mohammed al-Ureybi, who had thrown Saddam out of the two previous hearings he has chaired in the past week, opened Tuesday’s hearing with a lecture to Saddam to behave.
He let him read a 20-minute statement, with microphones […]
Americans who don’t understand basic economics like supply and demand think there’s a conspiracy between the President and the oil companies.
The “Madden Curse” strikes again. The 2007 edition of the football video game features Seattle’s Shawn Alexander. He broke his foot in Sunday’s game against the Giants.

Omar al-Farouq, who escaped from an Afghan prison in 2005, was killed by British troops in Basra, Iraq:
Burbridge said he could not comment on whether it was the same man who allegedly led al-Qaida’s Southeast Asia operations, citing British policy not allowing him to link an individual to a specific organization.
But a Basra police officer, […]
Vice President Dick Cheney came to Milwaukee to raise $150,000 for Mark Green and Wisconsin Republicans. That should help make up for losing in court to a Jim Doyle-appointed judge.

Many of us Mark Green supporters have been waiting for him to strike back at Jim Doyle’s constant barrage of attack ads. With today’s ruling against him in liberal Dane County by a Doyle-appointed judge he has to know the rules of the game are being rigged by his opponents. Now, Green has struck back. […]
There’s lots of yapping over leaked portions of the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) that the Iraq War has inspired untold numbers of new terrorists. Here are two things to remember: 1. the NIE isn’t God’s word sent down from heaven, it doesn’t have the greatest track record; 2. there’s a reason someone wanted this story, […]
Many, including me, paid more attention to what Hugo Chavez said last week (and what book he hawked) at the U.N. than how he’s leading Venezuela especially its oil industry. Thankfully the Washington Post editorial board points out Chavez’s ineptitude:
Since Mr. Chávez took power seven years ago, Venezuela has mismanaged its oil so disastrously that […]
The brief hope that Osama bin Laden was dead (and by a “water-born” illness no less) cheered me up this rainy Saturday. But that’s not the case according to Pakistani intelligence.

How many Bush-bashing, Leftist shibboleths can one reporter put into an “objective” news story? Count along with we go through the Associated Press’ Calvin Woodward:
Now the death toll is 9/11 times two. U.S. military deaths from Iraq and Afghanistan now surpass those of the most devastating terrorist attack in America’s history, the trigger for what […]

There has been plenty of electrons spilled on the news that a Gov. Jim Doyle lawyer conspired with members of the State Elections Board to stick it to Rep. Mark Green. Patrick at Badger Blogger has an extensive round-up. So check him out for breadth. I’ll highlight some thoughts I found interesting:
Campaign finance uber-scholar and […]
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) can “understand” Hugo Chavez’s “frustration” with the U.S. That’s far from Reps. Rangel’s and Pelosi’s denunciations of the Venezuelan autocrat. He then turned a question about Chavez into your standard criticism of President Bush’s foreign policy.
