- Motorola RAZR V3 Phone (Cingular)I've had this phone for about 6 months now and overall it seems like a good, solid performer. Two things could make this a great phone though. First, the screen is all but impossible to read in anything close to sunlight which makes it dangerous while trying to view in the car. Second, the battery life could be longer. Although it depends on your use, overall it seems to need recharging more often than other phones I've had. |

- An ego that knows no bounds:Donald Trump is considering running for governor, a leading Republican said Friday.

- The Department of Justice is beginning an investigation into the release of information about the Bush Administration's illegal domestic spying operation. Only in Bush world could DOJ investigate the alleged leak while ignoring the underlying crime. Every time they talk leak, we have to talk about the real crime committed by the President. Fortunately, that drumbeat has started:Privacy |

- When all else fails, go back to the classics. The church always gets confused, thinking that this is their heyday and that they can simply get away with anything. Obviously the Archdiocese of Boston is feeling pretty good about itself these days since they are now taking full advantage of the statute of limitations, moral responsibilities be damned. Their response to the second wave of lawsuits is |

- How do the Labour supporters continue supporting new Labour? Blair is more of a Tory than the Tory Party which explains why Bush loves him so much. It's funny to see that as Blair sits on the right the Conservatives are moving towards the left, or at least the middle. Oh the choices for voters these days. A year after we were first granted the "right to know", new figures show nine out of 17 |

- Should get interesting when 350,000 Irani army members come swarming across the boarder into Iraq as a counterpunch. This is why you don't start frivolous wars, so you're ready and able to fight the ones that matter. I don't necessarily have a problem taking out Iran's nuclear facilities, but for one itty bitty catch. Iran's army was half a world away, now it's literally on our border (i.e. |

- Another of our weekly rants from my friend Cliff (no relation to Flicka)... The Week That Was 12/30/05 Another week. More preposterousness to report. This week has been a bit slow. Like a decision by a president to think "real hard" about an August 6th, 2001 warning of an imminent attack by terrorists kinda slow. |

- Ok, they didn't really say that de jure, but they did say it de facto. Let me explain. America's Taliban thinks that any effort to stop teachers from talking about creationism in science class is "educational censorship." Okay, great. Then I assume they don't mind every grade school and high school teacher in the country telling their students that many people, including all the top scientific |

- Someone emailed me today, suggesting that NSA might still be putting cookies on visitors' computers even AFTER they said they'd stopped (because it's illegal). So I looked into my cookie folder, saw a few from NSA (that could have been from the other day before they said they'd stop), so I deleted them. I then looked in the folder, the cookies were gone. I then revisited the NSA Web site, |

- Joining the rest of the world, here's a personal take on the best (and worst) books of 2005. With one exception (the first), they are listed in alphabetical order. The Best: Saturday, Ian McEwan -- When I was required to pick one and only one book for my Blogcritics selection for book of the year, this was it. If you're talking about books for general consumption, this work walks away with best of the year. |
