Nothing to See Here - What’s a Bedtime? edition
More stuff you should be reading instead of staying up ‘til 2 am like some bloggers I could mention…
- Athenae posts an open letter from overseas.
- More here about the sorry spectacle of Abu Ghraib. I’m not sure what’s more outrageous: that we let this happen in the first place, or that there hasn’t been more of a scandal. I mean, whatever Clinton did on his worst day makes him look like an altar boy next to this mess. (Washington Monthly)
- I just don’t understand how our great democracy, that prides itself on its free and orderly democratic process, could let that process get completely haywire. (The Poor Man)
- Orcinus notes what I have long considered the central weak point in the rational for Bush’s War on Terror: there’s no end to it. There are no parameters. How many grieving relatives do Bush and Cheney think they can brush aside with platitudes and non-answers before even the will of their base starts to drain away?
- And Kevin Drum echoes my concern that the US is starting to act more and more like Stalinist Russia.
- Good timing, then, that the ACLU is advocating for a Civil Liberties Board. (via Brown Equals Terrorist)
- The staff at Pat Buchanan’s American Conservative was split enough that they published a dissenting endorsement for Kerry. The Regular has the money quote:
“Bush has behaved like a caricature of what a right-wing president is supposed to be, and his continuation in office will discredit any sort of conservatism for generations.”
In my darkest hours, I take comfort from this thought. A Bush win would be disastrous, but it would force him to sit in the mess he’s made and we could look forward to 30 years of Democratic presidents starting in 2008.
- Speaking of endorsements, The Poor Man has the best endorsement yet.
- More on Digital Rights Management. Tim Oren notes that if you have to implement DRM, you’ve already lost the game.
- Interesting formula for successful blogging by Seth Godin. What do you think?
