Fly naked
: Back on Dec. 22, 2001, after a homicidal lunatic tried to blow up a plane with his shoe -- causing millions of Americans to have to stink up airports with foot odor while their shoes are made radioactive -- I said the only surely safe way to handle air travel in the future was to fly naked.
Well, it has happened and here is the proof: Naked Air, the no-frills airline.
The idea sounds better than it looks.

And the revolution begins
: Salam Pax finds free Internet access in Baghdad:
Ya Allah have mercy on our souls. The old state owned Internet center in Adil district has been taken over by anarchists and they are offering internet access for FREE....
The people who used to work there opened the center 4 days ago; you can have an hour of internet for as little as 2000dinars. Take that you greedy sharks. The center is very well equipped, they put together 30 of their best computers and have a very good connection (ok so 30 computers in a city of 5 million is nothing, but it is a start). They even got military protection. The people who work their got a couple of soldiers from the nearest army checkpoint to take a look, the officer asked if it was OK for his men to check on their emails and stuff. The reaction the first couple of guys who came in was a very amazed “Wow!”.
Yesterday they put up a piece of paper that said: “we are happy to announce that you can get free internet access by dialing up this number”. A small little paper on the notice board. The telephone network is not fully operational, certain districts don’t have phones at all, but as I wrote earlier many of the exchanges that have not been destroyed or looted have been linked together. You will need to keep dialing for an hour to get thru but it works, I tried it.
Not a million bad things could have wiped the grin off my face when I read that little note.
Salam: Please also spread the word about blogging. Put up a little note with the Blogspot address and tell people that publishing to the world is also free! Show a few folks how easy it is. Do for Iraq what
Hoder did for Iran and a few bloggers will be thousands before you know it.
