Weekend's end - 19 April 2009
Apr. 20th, 2009 12:08 amWelcome to Sunday, one of the possible days of rest, depending on your faith. I, on the other hand, have been busy all day today. Here comes the linkstorm.
Pictures of the return of the wear dead, pointing out the images that were forbidden for so long.
NATO helicopters and ships pursue pirates, who apparently do not provide sufficietnt entertainment and food for their hostages, while providing more than enough fear for their diet, Israel declares meetings between the Swiss and the Iranians "pathetic",
The ATM/PIN/bank network may no longer be secure, with hackers obtaining and decrypting blocks of PINs by tapping the lines and executing man-in-the-middle types of attacks.
On the Internet, there will always be people for whom the last few decades never happened, jusging by some of the comments received about a magazine cover with a black man and a white woman kissing.
In the opinions, Mr. Cline shows contempt for an administration willing to use "I was only following orders" as a legitimate legal defense in cases of torture and human rights violations, and ddjango expresses his contempt for an Administration that wants to keep its populous believing an increasingly untrue fantasy instead of getting real. Considering they're also keeping a lot of secrets the last administrator did, “the king is dead, long live the king” sounds more and more appropriate.
Mr. Blackwell joins on, but on more partisan issues about how the President is suppoesdly sacrificing American Sovereignty by showing that his threats on North Korea were toothless, joining the Europe-dominated “global financial organization”, and of course, by being a secularist instead of a Christian. Mr. Krauthammer accuses him of at best, bait-and-switch on his economic plans, Mr. Tyrell beleives that his willingness to admit America is not the greatest nation ever through all time is arrogance and accusations that others, but not him, have been bad in the past.
Ms. Saunders thinks the recent "right-wing extremist" memo from DHS shouldn't have been published because it lacks specifics, and thus can only offend people who it names.
Mr. Horowitz takes the reaction to his presence at UT-Austin as a general indication that universities are utterly opposed to free speech, believing that being heckled and having people there to keep peace somehow translates to a global desire to suppress free speech, and of course, only campus leftists do such things.
And finally, Ms. Charen thinks that the MSM has missed the point on the tea partiers, protraying them as clueless-at-best and acting not in their own best interests, when it turns out they’re much cleverer and broader-minded that media portrayals.
Mr. Schulz uses Dyserville's ethanol plant as an example of why ethanol fails economically and will continue to do so.
Last for tonight, Deep Leap, a game that spits scrabble tiles at you and wants you to make nice words with them. And apparently, Spokane intends on blowing up squirrel tunnels to collapse them.
