Rundown du Jour

I know, I know, more MLPage, but I’m in a rush/drought. You’ll live.
First and foremost, just about everyone is reporting that troops are headed to Haiti under UN auspices. You can be sure I’m going to have some stuff to say about this, possibly tomorrow, at length.
The BBC is reporting that the Iraqi “government” […]

(via CalPundit)
The Bush/Cheney 2004 is working on venue
options for Bush’s acceptance speech at the New York convention:

The source, a veteran official of past GOP conventions,
said the 50,000 delegates, dignitaries and guests would watch off-site events
on giant TV screens. “Now, we’ll go to […]

A bit o’this an’that

I’ve been stumbling about to find some ideas for another single-topic post, but the day’s been a day that belongs in the class of those days, and I’m kinda tottering around the edge of sentience. So for this evening, I bring you P of a type both M and L!
First and foremost, I’d like to […]

Da Nooz

I take back the last three things I’ve said about Joe Lieberman.
Well, okay, the last two things:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 5,000 Transportation Department workers face a furlough on Monday, a possible result of two senators using an expiring highway bill to force House Republicans to accept a two month extension of an independent investigation of […]

The Roots of Evil

This is a post that I’ve been meaning to make for a while now, ever since the Columbia accident in fact. Since it’s now been just over a year since the accident, and with Bush’s “space plan” finally out, I feel a need to discuss this.
When it comes to space travel, Americans in general tend […]

First off, on a subject that’s been on my mind, Ampersand over at Alas, A Blog had some thoughts on how to increase traffic to your blog. There’s some neat tips in there, and I hope all the Zoners will take heart in some of the stuff Amp has to say on the […]

This is just a short one because I don’t really have any great interest in seeing Mel Gibson’s Biblical epic, but I thought it was worthy of sharing:
1) This qualifies as the best review of Passion of the Christ that I’ve seen so far.
2) On my home from work this evening I passed a Pentacostal […]

Reprieve

(First of all, this is the Nuke Free Zone’s one-hundredth posts. Woo, go us! Neat that we hit this point just as we start to get some notice from other guys out in the blogosphere. Thanks for the readership and the links, guys!)
Every once in awhile, someone takes a shot at you and misses.
From the […]

[A friend of a few of the Zoners, Primis, wrote this on his LiveJournal, and I liked the rant so much, I decided to crosspost it here. I like guest editorials, after all, and this one is from a slightly different perspective that most of the Zoner’s rants, so I figured it might be interesting […]

Dr. Dean to Triage…

First of all, unrelated to the body of this post, For The Ride… reports that Haloscan has trackbacks now. So, all you folks on blogger and blogspot can see who’s referencing your blog posts in their blog. We’re on Movable Type here at the Zone, which has trackbacks built in, but it’s still […]
