Govgle You learn something new every day. I was not aware of Google's function for only searching US govt sites: www.google.com/unclesam. Perhaps a link shows up if you're searching from a US-based client? Yes, I made up the pun in the headline myself. I agree it sucks, but it's stuck. 10:58:48 PM    comment []

You roogle'd me I wrote about Roogle the other day, and somebody searched Roogle for Roogle, and found me. Cute. 8:09:35 PM    comment []

Arrest in "Dirty trick" NSA memo leak An employee at the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the British counterpart to the NSA, has been arrested. The 28-year old woman is suspected of having leaked the memo to the Observer in violation of the Official Secrets Act. Thus confirming that the memo was genuine, contrary to a lot of speculation reported here and elsewhere. The original accusation of fraud came from the infamous Drudge Report. US mainstream media typically reported the story only with the fraud accuisation spin. I will allow myself to be pleasantly surprised, but don't really expect them to admit the memo was real, as they will have to do now if they write about this arrest. Let's keep an eye on how this story propagates. Douglas at The Agora beat me to this story. 4:50:28 PM    comment []

Fundie gleefully compares Great White blaze to hell A Christian fundie, appaled by the sex and drugs in rock and roll music, has made his own little religious hate site on the Net, RockTragedy.com. In between all the other hateful trash on the site, the site owner Brian Snider hardly manages to hide his glee at the horrible deaths suffered by the nightclub goers at the Great White concert: The club-goers entered the bar looking for drinks, rock-and-roll and a good time, not suspecting that it would be their final night on earth. In seconds, revelry and abandon became terror and death. Of course, this is what is awaiting all of us heathens anyway: What's even more disconcerting is the fact that many who will read this article will go to a place that will for all eternity be exactly like that flaming club - full of darkness and eternal smoke and torment. This hateful miserable little fanatic has taken Christian Debate Techniques 101, that's for sure. When I first read the excerpts from this site on BlogCritics, I thought he'd fallen for a hoax. Alas, real fanatics are pretty much beyond parody. "America's own version of the Taliban" is alive and well, and supported by the White House I may add. 12:38:10 PM    comment []
