I like to think this makes me look beefier than I actually am, like a grizzly bear who’s just come in out of the woods to fry up some onions and tempeh.

Wow, we finally did it
From Reuters:
The death of an army sergeant pushed the U.S. military death toll in Iraq to the landmark figure of 2,000 on Tuesday, but President George W. Bush warned more sacrifices were needed before U.S. troops could come home.
Quite an accomplishment. Georgie’s reaction? Now it’s time to sacrifice.

My nano has a booboo. Are you serious?
We are fighting the good fight. Injustice is occurring everywhere and we must take a stand. We have a right to a scratchless iPod nano.

Is Georgie evil? Round three
Ethan Zuckerman wrote a really good post today about his meet-up with a Georgie supporter. Ethan’s willingness, and desire, to get to know the “other side” is a quality I wish more so-called liberals have. Too many of us are far too comfortable in our beliefs and spend more moralizing than actually wondering [...]
I’m not alone
I think people think I hate Apple because I dare to take a skeptical look at their offerings and question whether their intense, uncritical commercialism is a good thing. But Jack Shafer on Slate also sees this as the press giving out free kisses to any and every Apple product introduced to the market. [...]
