Ah, yes. I’m slowly getting back into this blogging thing. It feels good. Here’s more stuff you should have been reading this week… #

• When Digby says “Wish I’d Said That,” it must be good. And it is. Avedon at The Sideshow—get this—reads the Constitution and discovers that—get this—it has a few things to say about what it means to be an American. And what it means to be an American—according to our founding document, now—is—get this—not really indistinguishable from what it means to be a liberal. Funny, that.
• It must suck to be an ex-president in this day and age, but it sounds like Clinton is still finding ways to duke it out constructively with Republicans. (First Draft)
• Speaking of duking it out, check out David Brock taking the fight to O’Reilly. Now, that’s the way we do it uptown, sucka. (via Eschaton)
• Note to self: When the Sherlock Holmes radio broadcasts come back online, grab ‘em!
• I love As The Apple Turns, and especially look forward to each Friday’s “Wildly Off-Topic Microsoft-Bashing Day.” This weeks was a doozy: Microsoft just bought a company that makes anti-spyware software, and plans to release the program to users of the MS OS for the price of “initially free.” A good deal, right? Microsoft sells you an operating system that leaks like a sieve and their solution is not to patch the holes in their own stuff, but to procure a software package that supposedly patches Microsoft’s own buggy software! And they leave the door open to the possibility that one day, they might charge you for the software to fix the software they originally sold you. The only thing bigger than the size of Microsoft’s bank account is the size of their balls.

• Don’t hate MS enough yet? Read this open letter. The Money Quote: “The Windows platform is not just insecure – it’s patently, blatantly, and unashamedly insecure by design.” (via Slashdot)
