Can somebody please point me to something that refutes the infuriating and depressing stuff about National Readiness Month that Bob Harris dug up? (Motto: Be ready to die! All month!) Aren't leaders supposed to inspire confidence rather than depressing readiness to be attacked by fundamentalists?

So I finally went ahead and added Barlow to the sidebar. My one reservation is that some people will think that I've done this because he's a former Cheney campaign manager who just decided that being an anti-Bush partisan is Important and Good. I promise you that's not it; he just writes well, and is fun to read. Like Hunter S. Thompson but not totally insane.

John Perry Barlow is interviewed during a break from getting healthy on TV. This part is great:

They asked for a continuation at the last hearing because they said that the Department of Homeland Security had been unable to come up with a set of guidelines regarding the release of the subpoenaed materials for national security reasons. So our national security depends on whether or not they can get me for carrying marijuana on that airplane.

Repays reading.
