Fox is reporting a plan by Florida law enforcement authorities to recruit exterminators and cable repairmen to report on suspicious activities in the homes that they visit. Supposed to catch terrorists. I think they would do much better to recruit the boys from "Queer Eye for the...
This interview, which will be much blogged about--although I can't see anyone topping Jesse Taylor, so I won't try. But, really, it's worth the free ad. Perhaps better, though, is.
I've always admired Le Marseillaise as the finest of national anthems, but I don't believe I ever knew quite how bloodthirsty it was. Here a link to the lyrics, via Matt Yglesias.

I've signed up to go see it through Moveon at a house in my neighborhood on Sunday at 7:00. Anyone local who is interested in joining me, send me an email and I'll tell you how to sign up for the event. Review forthcoming early next...
