Canada/Personal: Too Soon (Oct 27 2003 03:56 GMT) - One of the most annoying things about being an American in Canada is that the Thanksgiving holiday occurs at the "wrong" time of year. Instead of being celebrated in late November as it is back home, it is celebrated in early October, on the same day as America's Columbus Day holiday. This reality has the unintended side effect of eliminating a psychological barrier to starting the Christmas shopping season around the same time as Halloween. In the US, Thanksgiving is a significant family-oriented holiday and by tradition, you usually don't see all the secular accoutrements of Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. In fact, Santa Claus is an important part of the Thanksgiving parade. |

Democratic Think Tank (Oct 27 2003 03:52 GMT) - Richard Rahn understands why the Democrats are desperate for their own 'think tanks' and lays out why it is oxymoronic to use the words 'Democrat' and 'Think Tank' together: For more than 200 years, from the time of the French Revolution, almost an infinite variety of statist or socialist models have been tried. There were the various utopians, the Fabian socialists, the communists, the National Socialists (Nazis), and the almost endless varieties of social democrats. None were... |

More Muslim Ignorance (Oct 27 2003 03:52 GMT) - On the Third Hand points out yet another example of the backwardness, ignorance, ruthlessness, and the evil mindset of our enemies with this article: Squeezing droppers into the mouths of tearful toddlers, health workers launched an emergency drive yesterday to vaccinate Nigerians against polio, an effort impeded by rumors among Muslim fundamentalists that the vaccine was part of a U.S. plot to spread AIDS and render Muslims infertile. Teams raced to immunize 15 million African... |

Disappearing Penises (Oct 27 2003 03:52 GMT) - Mark Steyn has some more info on the recent epidemic of penis disappearances in Sudan: There's something pathetic about a culture so ignorant even its pathologies have to be imported. But what do you expect? The telling detail of the vanishing penis hysteria is that it was spread by text messaging. You can own a cell phone, yet still believe that foreigners are able with a mere handshake to cause your penis to melt away. |

Charter School in LaLaLand (Oct 27 2003 03:52 GMT) - Naturally this pertains to LaLaLand: IF YOU TOOK every failed, trendy educrat idea, packaged them in a school and put radical animal-rights activists in charge of it, you'd end up with something like the Humane Education Learning Community -- a K-6 charter school approved by Sacramento's San Juan Unified School District. Here's a clue as to how un-academic the K-6 school is likely to be if it opens next fall: "Mahatma Gandhi" -- the petition reads -- "once said,... |

Windows Vulnerability Could Lead To MSBlaster II (Oct 27 2003 03:51 GMT) - Exploit code that takes advantage of a recent Microsoft vulnerability is out in the wild and could prove as dangerous as this summer's MSBlaster worm if attackers decide to focus their efforts, security analysts said Friday. Released earlier this week, the exploit code -- which has been crafted to run not only on attackers' Windows machines, but also on Linux and Unix boxes --crashes Windows systems not patched against a vulnerability released last week. The vulnerability, which Microsoft rated as 'Critical' when it released several bulletins in its first-ever monthly patch roundup, is in the Windows Messenger Service. Not to be confused with Windows Messenger, Microsoft's instant messaging platform, Windows Messenger Service is used by applications to communicate with each other, and often by enterprise network administrators to alert users of such things as impending server shutdowns or the unavailability of print servers. |
