From the WordPress Development Blog:
I am very proud to announce the immediate availability of the much-anticipated 1.2 “Mingus” release of WordPress. You can download it through the usual methods, though it usually takes a few hours for the SourceForge mirrors to catch up with everything. There are so many new features it’s almost too much for this post, but I’ll squeeze them in. You can view the full changelog on the wiki.
There you are – real progress.
Citizen Smash – The Indepundit explains it all: The artillery shell discovered earlier this week, according to General Kimmitt, contained a “mix-in-flight” binary chemical warhead. This type of warhead, as noted above, was not used in the Iran-Iraq war, and was not included by Saddam in any of his weapons declarations. Keyword = new. Any … Continue reading “The Sarin non-story, part 2”

Business 2.0 is no more impressed with Kinja than we were: After only a few months in the lab, the Kinja team scrapped the marketing-tool angle. The project persisted as a kind of Google for blogs, and at launch, to no one’s surprise, the New York Times ran a piece about it. But so far, … Continue reading “Denton’s Folly”
Business 2.0 is no more impressed with Kinja than we were:
After only a few months in the lab, the Kinja team scrapped the marketing-tool angle. The project persisted as a kind of Google for blogs, and at launch, to no one’s surprise, the New York Times ran a piece about it. But so far, the thing has turned out to be an overhyped bust on par with “push technology.” Hourihan quit the day of its launch. Power bloggers eschew it as a weaker version of the programs they already use, the blog-gathering RSS applications, which keep tabs on hundreds of blogs at once. People new to the blogging world, of course, don’t look at it at all.
Denton’s genius is his uncanny ability to exploit bright but emotionally-disturbed young women, a formula from which he departed in the case of Kinja. Perhaps he’s learned something.
Bendomenech.com: The Rundown Safire has the best take on the coverage of the Sarin gas shell. Or non-coverage: Only at the NYTimes is a gallon equivalent to “small traces.” The find is significant, as Joe Carter points out effectively.

Gov. Schwarzenegger has done the easy stuff – repealed the car tax increase and the illegal immigrant driver license bill, passed the deficit bond, and written a reasonably tight budget – and now he’s going after the real bad guys in California, the gaming tribes and the public employee unions. In particular, the prison guards … Continue reading “Now the real work starts”
Gov. Schwarzenegger has done the easy stuff – repealed the car tax increase and the illegal immigrant driver license bill, passed the deficit bond, and written a reasonably tight budget – and now he’s going after the real bad guys in California, the gaming tribes and the public employee unions. In particular, the prison guards got a sweetheart raise from Davis after spending millions to elect him:
The contract has come under fire for its generous pay raises and its semisecret provisions. Many legislators now say they were ignorant of its true dimensions when they voted to approve it during the Davis regime. If the Legislature refuses to appropriate money for the contract, as the 17 senators are urging, the CCPOA would be forced back to the bargaining table. The action would bolster Schwarzenegger’s call for renegotiating public employee union contracts signed by the Davis administration, saying the state can’t afford them since it’s running multibillion-dollar deficits.
Few pols have taken on the CCPOA and lived to tell about it, because their election tactics make Abu Ghraib look like Sunday School. In the Davis/Lungren contest, they bought up all the media time in the Central Valley so that Lungren couldn’t get his ads on in October when he was desperate.
Free speech belongs to the guy who owns the ads.
There’s an interesting little aside at the end of this essay by Christopher Hitchens on Hersh’s fantasy: So a Sarin-infected device is exploded in Iraq, and across the border in Jordan the authorities say that nerve and gas weapons have been discovered for use against them by the followers of Zarqawi, who was in Baghdad … Continue reading “Those pesky WMDs”
There’s an interesting little aside at the end of this essay by Christopher Hitchens on Hersh’s fantasy:
So a Sarin-infected device is exploded in Iraq, and across the border in Jordan the authorities say that nerve and gas weapons have been discovered for use against them by the followers of Zarqawi, who was in Baghdad well before the invasion. Where, one idly inquires, did these toys come from? No, it couldn’t be.
Oh, but it could, couldn’t it?
Jerry Brown wants to be California Attorney General: “I’d bring creativity and innovation to that office. I have a lot to give,” Brown, 66, said Monday in an interview from London, where he stopped en route to a conference in Croatia. Brown last week quietly filed his required statement of intention to run for attorney … Continue reading “Attorney General Moonbeam?”
Jerry Brown wants to be California Attorney General:
“I’d bring creativity and innovation to that office. I have a lot to give,” Brown, 66, said Monday in an interview from London, where he stopped en route to a conference in Croatia. Brown last week quietly filed his required statement of intention to run for attorney general in 2006. The filing, a prerequisite to raising campaign funds, was an unusually stealthy move for a career politician who has been California’s secretary of state, governor, a three-time presidential contender, a U.S. Senate candidate and mayor of Oakland.
This is truly bizarre, but Brown’s an interesting guy who’s come a long wasy since the Gov. Moonbeam days. Likely Republican opponent Rod Pacheco would be my choice, but there’s an element of personal relationship there. When he was in the Assembly, he answered his own phone after 5:00; I really liked that.
This is a real shocker. After her party won national elections in India, Sonia Gandhi was the presumptive Prime Minister.

This is a real shocker. After her party won national elections in India, Sonia Gandhi was the presumptive Prime Minister. But now she declines the post amid widespread fears of foreign-devil commie takeover:
Investors feared that if she became prime minister, Gandhi would have to backtrack on her pledge to go forward with economic liberalization, or that the leftists could block key reforms such as the privatization of state-run companies.
In the long run, this is best for the Congress Party.
Two good reasons to vote for Kerry.
