Autonomous Duplicity

All Over the Place and Back Again


* Dagnabbit! Just when you're totally and completely convinced your congress-critter is completely and totally useless, he goes and does something commendable.

* Oliver Willis has lauched a new site... content pending?

* Texas politics heats up in the greater DeLay area. Is anyone keeping track of who's supporting him as he falls from grace?

* More Texas "townhall" results. Seems like a consistent pattern. Elected official shows up, attendees prepared, floor wiped with official, wash, rinse, repeat. Do they plan these things with the expectation we're all a bunch of rubes?

* Bush on film. (via, CB)

* In a new and unique approach to the "Day of Silence", could we convince the opposition to have their own day and call it "Day of Shut the Fuck Up"?

* Baby steps. Definitely a positive change for international relations.

* On the internet, no one knows you're a dog. Pat Sajak wakes up to an age old fact and complains about it like it's a rising issue. Whatta nut.


Things that crack me up

Bush, wearing a military-style jacket, opened his speech with a somewhat timid version of the traditional US Army "Hoo-ah" cheer, which was echoed by the roughly 25,000 soldiers on hand.

Nice to hear your rep isn't utterly useless, though I have to question the implicit "tyrannical activist" between "federal" and "judge" in his statement. But for a different perspective, check out this statement from Sens. McCain and Feingold about the FEC's current rulemaking activities. Nutshell version: it's about regulating paid online political advertising, not censoring bloggers.
