So welcome to a new occasional feature of this blog, something I'm currently calling: Seeing the cites*. I'm not going to share the full-text articles on this blog, but hopefully this will give you enough information to (a) decide whether you want to read them, and (b) find them through your local libraries. |

- Jonah Goldberg talks about Musab al-Zarqawi in his column today, which is an important read. To the naysayers who deny that our enemies in Iraq are specific terrorist groups, Zarqawi has an answer. Our enemies aren't the Iraqi people. We're trying to help them and bring them a democratically elected representative government for the first time in history. Many (especially liberals and the ignorant) in this country think this isn't the case. |

- According to this story in the News and Observer of Raleigh, an important change may be in the works for North Carolina's election process.

- Because rebel Iraqi forces have been surprisingly effective in rigging together improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from things like garage door openers and cellphones (and, you know, bombs). The Pentagon isn't having it—they're spending no end of money to make sure we've got something more effective to seek-and-destroy them than shooting everything that looks like it might blow up. According to DefenseTech, researchers at the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Dahlgren Laboratory are work... |

- Despite putting a region code on their games (as seen in the FCC manual), Sony has stated again that games for their upcoming portable platform will be region free. That means a game bought in Japan should work on North American PSPs, and vice-versa. It also means that it is possible for Sony to release a game in the future that is region locked.

- Not surprisingly, in his press conference today the president dismissed all questions regarding the specifics of his Social Security privatization scheme. Bush declined even to acknowledge obvious mathematical truisms -- for instance that the government will need to borrow a couple trillion dollars or so to cover the transition costs associated with pulling money out of Social Security and setting up private investment accounts.

- I was just introduced to this site: The Daily WTF "Curious Perversions in Information Technology." I would start pointing to each good entry but I can't, they're all hilarious (or sad, depending on which side of the fence you're on). The main page is (as far as I can see) a blog-like rendering of the Daily WTF Forum from the forums on the site (check out the other forums too). Most excellent--subscribed. |
