Newt, WR2S, and We Love Mao
Some quick items that don't merit a whole post on their own:
- I am more than a little concerned that Newt Gingrich is returning to the public eye. If it keeps up I may have to retain my winter beard into the summer months.
- Amidst all the kerfuffle of February, I neglected to note that I got my shiny new Extra Class vanity callsign from the FCC: WR2S. Get it? R2S?
- The Middle East Times reports that China is purifying the Internet, and it's about time. "Whether we can cope with the Internet is a matter that affects the development of socialist culture, the security of information, and the stability of the state," said Press and Publication Administration head Long Xinmin wisely. "Advanced network technologies such as blogging and Webcasting have been mounting new challenges to the government's ability to supervise the Internet." We would like to point out to Mr. Long that the Far-Flung Media Empire uses no advanced technology at all -- we are powered entirely by waterwheels located in an idyllic countryside, supervised by contented peasants -- and that we present no challenge of any kind. We would also like to complement Mr. Long's on his tie, which is very fetching.
- I apologize for using "amidst" and "kerfuffle" in the same bullet earlier in this post. I assure you it will not happen again.
