End of Silence

Spewing bile and profanity generally doesn’t end up being very constructive, but it can be an awful lot of fun.

Robert Cringley, geek reporter extraordinaire, was one of those people who predicted a win for Kerry because the youth vote was underrepresented in the polls. The reasoning was that the polls weren’t getting the kids with no land line and just a cell phone. Well, we all know he was wrong and he admits it [...]

I’ve been trying really hard not to blog so much about politics, but I’m finding it hard to do. A line has been forming at the figurative door of W’s cabinet. I’m surprised that no one has been trampled on the way out.
It appears that Condi Rice will, in fact, be Colin Powell’s replacement. The [...]

I was listening to Howard Stern this morning just before I got to work when he mentioned a USA Today article about pharmacists refusing to fill birth control prescriptions for religious reasons. DazeReader has a bunch of related stuff today (unfortunately I can’t link directly to the post).
I don’t have time right now to write [...]

Lawrence Lessig points us to a few answers to my last post. I knew that Voter News Service was out of the picture after the 2002 election. Apparently, it’s replacement is National Election Pool. It was those six news organizations (AP, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News) who came up with the questions. I still [...]

Found via Josh Marshall, a 2004 election blue-red map weighted for population density to counter all of those “look at all them red states” arguments.
And some Boston Globe debunking of some of the post-election marriage/values debate, which is a pointless discussion. I still want to research the exit poll that everyone’s quoting placed “moral values” [...]

I’ve been wanting Trackback, something you MT kids take for granted, in phpNuke for quite some time and Dan Macioce was the first one to implement it at the end of last year. I somehow got busy and missed it until this week. Well, life got in the way, he never got very far past [...]

Read this.
Now read this.
Makes this seem a little less paranoid, doesn’t it?
EDIT: And then there’s this.

Thanks to Brennan, I now have RSS 2.0 and Atom 0.3 feeds to replace the default RSS 0.91 feed included with my CMS of choice. Check it out and let me know if anything no workee. It looks like someone’s finally gotten around to implementing Trackbacks for this bad boy as well. More to come…

Ezra links a few bits of advice. I think the Paul Waldman comments underestimate the characteristics that generally go along with being a candidate from the South. It’s not THE factor, but so many things go with it as a general rule that it’s probably safe to say that type of candidate will fare [...]
