First it was FireFox freezing all the time. So I switched to IE7. Now it’s refusing to load some pages, including my own here, throwing up "abort" messages. LGF says it’s somehow related to Sitemeter. Swell. Well, there’s always Safari, I guess. Or Opera, if push comes to shove. Could we please go back to Web 1.0? At least it worked, most of the time.
UPDATE: Seems to be fixed. Except for visits to Sitemeter, itself.

The Dinosaur Media continues to ignore the Edwards-Hunter sex scandal which every supermarket shopper is aware of and the conservative blogosphere has been chewing over for five days. Thus the DM is merely making itself look ridiculous. Not to mention double-standard. Even their Brit subsidiary, with a lot less to lose politically, is upstaging them. The "progressive" blogs–the so-called netroots, or nutroots if you disagree–also are out to lunch, so far.
UPDATE: Well, Fox is in.
I’m not sure this tool is much better than using a box cutter (which is cheaper) or even a pair of stout scissors. But it’s an option. I have noticed that the clam shell wrapping has become somewhat easier to open, on some packages at least, by getting your thumbnail between the seams and prying it apart. Presumably it’s the manufacturers who are making it easier to do that.

Soothing little Bach piece here, though I wonder at the guy’s armature, bent over the way he is. That’s it for a while, as we fly off to California this evening. See y’all next Saturday.

Or just about any other of those clodhoppers some young women wear today. At least this is cute. Not enough for Miriam, but Anne likes ’em. Me, too. Sorta.

I don’t like reading it, and so I don’t write it. And that’s one reason I won’t write an obit-hymn for George Carlin, who I think mainly contributed to the coarsening of our culture. If you disagree, you can join in the wake here, but to paraphrase some of the commenters there, he seemed to have become just an old liberal ranting at conservatives; I thought he was brilliantly funny when I was twenty-five, but I grew up. He didn’t.
