The Onion for prophetic accuracy
I see references to this piece in the Onion is just now making its rounds in the blogsphere.
The article is from January 2001, and has President Bush promise that he would put an end to the Clinton era's "long national nightmare of peace and prosperity," spend the surplus, give tax benefits to the rich and widen the divide between rich and poor.
Even more astonishing, in this piece Bush promises that "the U.S. will engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed conflict in the next four years."
Secular Blasphemy blogged about this on February 5.
Positive spin: I'm ahead of the crowd. Negative spin: Nobody notices anyway.

Blogging in Iraq
Journalist Christopher Allbritton has decided to become the first, and probably only, independent journalist covering this war on the spot. And what better place to do that than in blogspace? He has set up the blog Back to Iraq 2.0, where he reports as often as he can from Northern Iraq, where the Kurds have set up a de-facto independent democratic state.

Now that's a new one
I get the following error message when I upload new items:
Can't upstream because "The server, rcs.salon.com, returned error code 4: Can't find a sub-table named "item #1"."
The funny thing is that it is lying. It does upstream the new postings. It just refuses to tell my server that I have updated my blog, so nobody else will know. Grrr.
Well it's Sunday, and the Net always sucks on a Sunday. I see everybody on Salon blogs, except those who uses their own domains, have exactly the same problem.

Sterotype (sic)
Misspellings seem to be one way to make it to the top of the daypop bursts. Xtian at Radio Free Blogistan decided not to correct the misspelling, since by doing the same mistake as Instapundit, he made the burst.
Actually, the error was originally made by quizilla who everybody linked in the first place. Obviously, they are as clueless about spelling as they are about politics.
