— This JD Lasica character has got some negative feedback on Wired West.
Getting some very interesting feedback on my article that posted yesterday on OJR: Why the Wired West still matters. The vast majority have been kudos, but those aren’t the interesting ones, so I’ll print the critics’ views here.
If you care about all the East v. West, Blog v. Media stuff, this is for you, but it’s pretty lame — JD’s a Wellbert.

— Mrs. Bennett urges you to cast your attention in the general direction of Natalie Solent:
The Arabs are at the present time the world’s premier admirers of those who “martyr” themselves while killing children and other civilians. However we must not neglect the Western, nominally-Christian world’s own substantial contribution to this field of human endeavour. On October 23rd 1993 the IRA exploded a bomb in a fish shop in the Shankill Road. They used a bomb with a fuse set for eleven seconds: so you can safely assume that the bombers intended to give themselves time to get away but to kill the customers and staff in the shop without warning. And kill them it did, nine of them, including Michelle Baird aged seven and Leanne Murphy aged thirteen.
Gerry Adams was a pallbearer at the funeral of one of the Shankill bombers, and Oakland, CA (home of Barbara Lee) just named a street after him. We seem to have a bit of a consistency problem here.

Thanks to the anti-Simon press corps, few Californians know that Simon has been leading Gray Davis in at least five polls.
The article says the ONLY poll that shows Davis in the lead, the notoriously unreliable Field poll, is the one the papers are carrying. The thing is, the papers always cover the Field poll, unreliable or not, so this may not be a smoking gun, exactly.

— Those crazy Germans are listening to plants scream with pain when their fruits are picked. But there’s more to it than that:
The Bonn scientists have tested a range of plants, always in rooms with controlled temperatures and simulated natural light. But they were most surprised by the reaction of the cucumber. The vegetable appeared to be in good shape, yet according to the acoustic measurements it was virtually shouting with agony.
A closer study showed that it had developed mildew, yet the symptoms were not visible. This finding is likely to make an impact on agriculture. “We can detect an infection the day after it has set in,” said Dr K?hnemann’s colleague Ralph Gaebler. “Farmers, looking at their plant in the field, have to wait eight or nine days until the mildew spots have visibly broken out before they notice the problem,” he said in an interview with Deutsche Welle radio station.
Screaming plants, ethylene emission detectors, and an end to that rotten apple in every barrel are coming soon.
