23. January, 2003 - the government we deserve
- State of the Union: Congress Meets Wall Street. All kinds of good information about which industries are buying government. [boing boing]
- James Lileks takes on the Red Menace. And maybe among his circle, calling someone a communist raises suspicions about you. In the group I hang out with, me calling someone a communist means I think they support politicians who take money from me, and want to give it to someone else, usually one of the groups listed in the poster mentioned in the previous post as spending a lot of money on political donations.

- From The People of Venezuela To The World - Elections in Venezuela Now! Miguel Octavio and his brother, are having a Blog Day for Venezuela today, the 45th anniversary of the overthrow of the their last dictatorship.
The idea is that on that day, those that would like to participate will either put a banner in their page designed by us to that effect or a text which links directly to the following page, where we simply are calling for elections as a resolution to the Venezuelan crisis.

- Consumers rebel as new round of cable rate hikes hits. The article doesn't even mention how Time-Warner Cable here in Minneapolis has bumped the rates and dropped Fox Sports Net. About the only reason I'm keeping cable at this point is that the NASCAR races are on Fox and FX, and not the missing Fox Sports Net. [scripting]
- Trying to remember a song? German Scientists Find the Key to searching for it if you can hum a few bars. From the Frauhofer Institut, the same fine people who brought you MP3. [boing boing]
- HELLO, my name is Scott! It's a guy (named Scott) who's trying to make the world a friendlier place by wearing a nametag saying HELLO, my name is Scott!
