Roundup

Pay attention, I'm moving quickly.

• Partisanship rides again: Some people are toying with a case against the Gonzalez appointment over the Geneva Treaty.
  
  
• Reflexive guilt from the non-winners. But not as alarming as gloating fat men with firearms. Everyone, anyone: bust out the digital camera and join the fun! Maybe both sides can swap domain names in '08 if the election goes Blue.
  
  
• Clowns, gaijin, and sandwiches make a disturbing mix. (Requires Windows Media)
  
  
• Firefox Mozilla is the surfer's choice, especially if you visit blogs with many links. The tabbed browser makes it easy: Press the control key when you click, and another tab magically opens up underneath for that website.
  
  
• Some members of my miniscule readership continue to ask for the ability to post comments. But I've been on the Internet long enough to know that political discussions go one of two ways: An echo-chamber of agreement, or a downward spiral of nastiness, ending with "Nazi" accusations. In both cases half the readers go away.
  
  
• I am 2/3 of the way into the 'His Dark Materials' series by Philip Pullman. It's billed as juvenile literature, but it's better: First class, inventive fantasy, and a subversive re-telling of Milton's Paradise Lost. The only reason these books haven't been banned by the extreme religious right must be because they simply haven't heard of them.

There's the roundup. Please send me email, I would like feedback.
