The world of blogs

: Almost forgot to link you to Daniel Drezner and Henry Farrell's very good story on blogs and the world stage in Foreign Policy. They showed it to me early a few weeks ago but I couldn't link to it then. I recommend it now. 202 loader dvd2one

Size matters

: Seth Godin's ChangeThis just passed 100k downloads. If they'd put it up in HTML, I'd bet they'd have 10 times the readership. Why not try, Seth? Put up half your "manifestos" in HTML and see what happens... You are the man who inspires many, including me, to listen to your customer....202 loader dvd2one

Dumbest anchor alive

: When I was a TV critic, I always wanted to write a column about Dan Rather, Dumbest Anchor Alive. I never got around to it because I'm lazy and I would have had to watch hours of Rather to compile my case. But Tony Pierce has done us the public service of quoting Ratherisms from election night alone. I think he thinks he's going to be gone soon, so he got in as many as he could. A sampling:

"His lead is as thin as turnip soup." 202 loader dvd2one

"This race is humming along like Ray Charles." 202 loader dvd2one

"The presidential race is swinging like Count Basie." 202 loader dvd2one

"This race is hotter than a Times Square Rolex." 202 loader dvd2one

"Ohio becomes like a sauna for the two candidates. All they can do is wait and sweat." 202 loader dvd2one

"One's reminded of that old saying, 'Don't taunt the alligator until after you've crossed the creek.'" 202 loader dvd2one

"Bush is sweeping through the South like a big wheel through a cotton field." 202 loader dvd2one

"In southern states they beat him like a rented mule."202 loader dvd2one

"If you try to read the tea leaves before the cup is done you can get yourself burned."202 loader dvd2one

"We need Billy Crystal to Analyze This"202 loader dvd2one

"You know that old song, 'it's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely' for President Bush in most areas of the country."

: A commenter below says the Dutch want a Patriot Act of their own. I don't blame them. 202 loader dvd2one

: Here is the site Van Gogh edited: De Gozonda Roker. 202 loader dvd2one

: Van Gogh put up wonderful vlogs -- daily video logs. Watch Supercool here. 202 loader dvd2one

: I don' t know whether this is right and I don't know whether I figured out the Dutch correctly, but this forum dedicated to assassinated Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn says that Van Gogh was murdered 911 days after Fortuyn. It also says that as 911 is our emergency number and the mass murder occurred here on 9/11, in Holland the emergency number is 112 and this murder occurred on 11/2. More here (all in Dutch). 202 loader dvd2one
