If I didn't already have an important event to attend on Saturday, I would definitely be checking out the Second Annual Furries versus Klingons Bowling Challenge at Midtown Bowl.

The 2007 MacArthur Grants have been announced, and I have somehow been overlooked again!

"Refuse to be Terrorized" is an oldie but a goodie from Bruce Schneier's Wired column.

Supreme Court to hear voter ID case.

Bob Herbert says it is time for Black people to rise up against the G.O.P.

"If every American had to pool-boy for these people for a day, you'd have a revolution on your hands."

I'd probably say this for richers in general. Luckily there's all those layers of management to make the wealth gradient seem not quite so extreme.

Although I wouldn't mind kicking around Sergey Brin or Vint Cerf's pool for a while. Richard Branson might be a hoot as well.

There's a pretty cool 17 min. video on the Huffington Post video page, where John Cusack interviews Naomi Klein. They discuss her book The Shock Doctrine. Naomi Klein, Amy Goodman, and Alan Greenspan (cough,fraud,cough) had an interesting discussion on Democracy Now the other day.

Oh. My. God. Because warmongering has been *so* cool and successful lately. And Bush is *so* trustworthy with symbolic measures like this placed into his hands.

Georgia is so backward that now India is outsourcing *here* ?!?!
