- Michael Lind explains why nobody who reads fifteen year-old American Enterprise Institute books is surprised at the depth and breadth of the Bush administration's constant mendacity: A Tragedy of Errors: The cynical way in which the Bush Administration lied to Congress and the American people to justify an invasion of Iraq planned years before September 11, 2001, by Wolfowitz and many of his PNAC allies came as no surprise to me, a former neocon. In an anthology titled The Fettered Presidency published by the American Enterprise Institute in 1989, Irving Kristol wrote that "if the president goes to the American people and wraps himself in the American flag and lets Congress wrap itself in the white flag of surrender, the president will win.... The American people had never heard of Grenada. |

- I don't like the limited options of iPhoto or how it organizes my photos in strange ways; i'd rather use iView Media Pro. Unfortunately it's not as integrated as iPhoto is. My method takes a little work, but it's now seamless. I plug in the camera and then open up iView and there they are to manipulate or arrange or export. |

- Michael Lind's personal God That Failed**: He thought he "had joined an antitotalitarian liberal movement, not an alliance of American Likudniks and born-again Baptist creationists brought together to support the colonization of 'Samaria' and 'Judea' by right-wing Jewish settlers." A Tragedy of Errors: A related contradiction is the ever-deepening alliance of the neocons with the Likud's major supporters in the American electorate, the Protestant ayatollahs of the Bible Belt, which inspired Irving Kristol, William Kristol and Norman Podhoretz to open their magazines to religious-right tirades against abortion rights, gay rights, gun control and--my personal favorite--"Darwinism." This apertura to Southern Christian fundamentalism--the opposite of everything that neoconservatism defined as "paleoliberalism" once stood for--led to my departure and that of several other former neoconservatives. |

- New paint absorbs noxious gases.. New Scientist is reporting about a new paint that can absorb noxious gases. According to the article the new paint is called Ecopaint and is designed to reduce the levels of nitrogen oxides, collectively known as the NOx gases, which can cause respiratory problems. The paint's base is polysiloxane, a silicon-based polymer. Embedded in it are spherical nanoparticles of titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate 30 nanometers wide. |
