This Has To Be A Hoax.- May 25, 2006 Crooked Timber links to a website called DefendDelay.com, which appears to be raising money for Tom DeLay's legal defense. At the top of the page, as support for their attempt to make the case for DeLay, is a video clip of Stephen Colbert interviewing Robert Greenwald, a filmmaker who's just made a movie about DeLay's misconduct, in Colbert's character as a faux-conservative talking head. That is, the people at DefendDeLay appear to believe that Colbert's schtick is real. It has to be a hoax --.http://www.unfogged.com/archives/week_2006_05_21.html#004981 I Don't Hate All Big Brother Databases- May 25, 2006 I stopped going to the stupid gym with an escalator and started going to a smaller one with a laid-back "where everybody knows your name" kind of vibe. In general, I like it but there's one area where it's too laid back. After a couple of weeks, the girl who works the front desk started recognizing me and waiving me past the desk most nights without scanning my membership card. Now, I don't like going to the gym. I'd much rather do something outdoors and "real". So if I'm...http://www.unfogged.com/archives/week_2006_05_21.html#004980 We're Back, Baby- May 24, 2006 The server upgrade is complete. Comments are reopened. Long live Unfogged....http://www.unfogged.com/archives/week_2006_05_21.html#004979 Start Spreading The News- May 24, 2006 It looks like Elliot Spitzer has the NY gubernatorial election locked -- the Conservative Party has just endorsed some pro-life dude named Faso for governor. If Faso gets the Republican nomination over William Weld, he has no hope -- he's simply too far right for NY. If Weld gets the Republican nomination over Faso, as he almost certainly will, he loses because Faso splits off the far right wing. No Republican has won statewide office in NY without the Conservative endorsement for thirty years..http://www.unfogged.com/archives/week_2006_05_21.html#004978 So Here's The Deal- May 24, 2006 This is clearly intolerable -- we're giving up and going to a dedicated server. We should have comments back up and running by Monday, maybe sooner. (There will be new posts during that time, and the incomparable Becks will be hosting comment threads for them.) Sadly, this means that my earlier post disclaiming any need for your stinking money is now inoperative. There will be fundraising to cover hosting costs. We'll try to make it unobtrusive. Further, the fact that we keep on having this...http://www.unfogged.com/archives/week_2006_05_21.html#004977 |
