More on Netanyahu
Tom in Paris points out that the fact that Sharon offered Netanyahu the posts as finance minister tells us a lot about Israel's economy at this time.
The post is to Nenanyahu what the front line was to Uriah, to choose a Biblical theme. He wisely declined, even if that means he may end up in the political wilderness for a while.

Weatherpixie!
I stole the idea of a weatherpixie (see right hand side of my blog) from Rayne. A bit cheesy graphic, I think, but of course I had to go with the goth figure.

Duct tape this
There is no end of puns on the Bush administration's extreme fondness of duct tape as the foremost lifesaver. There were lots of jokes about Bush having stocks in the duct tape industry. And, of course, somebody had to find the big conspiracy link for real! Quoting Washington Post:
"Turns out that nearly half -- 46 percent to be precise -- of the duct tape sold in this country is manufactured by a company in Avon, Ohio. And the founder of that company, that would be Jack Kahl, gave how much to the Republican National Committee and other GOP committees in the 2000 election cycle? Would that be more than $100,000?"
Not to be outdone, the rest of the blogsphere is already writing about this, e.g. BoingBoing. This can probably keep us entertained for a while. After all, WPs Al Kamen completes the piece asking "Wonder who manufactures all that plastic sheeting."
So there we have it, folks. The evil right wing conspiracy recommended dead-terror-scared Americans to run out to buy duct tape to line the pockets of one of their fat cat contributors.
Sometimes it's a simple world, but I think in this case, somebody's followed the money a few steps too far.

Pop yourself, matey
How's this for blog introspection: The top popular link at DayPop today is... Daypop's new burst feature.
I am among the guilty. I blogged it earlier, but only because they picked me up first. Thus bringing us full circle in blogland.

You googled me in vain
It's not unusual that google searches lead to unhelpful blog hits, since a number of different topics follows each other, meaning more or less any constellation of search words can be found somewhere in the blogsphere, but in unrelated articles.
So also with the person who was interested enough in U.N. Weapons inspector T-Shirt to actually browse through a few pages worth of google hits, and twice have a look at my more-evil-twin's sub-blog. I, ahem, he, indeed wrote about both t-shirt and a UN weapon inspector, but not in the same entry.
If anybody actually finds a weapon inspector t-shirt, I'd like to know about it.
