9. March, 2003 - Hanging out with terrorists

• Jim is not at all surprised to find that he’sa member of groups that have were labelled domestic identified groups that may affect our communities in a report on Terrorism in Minnesota. Minnesota McCarthyism has more information. [Jim–a former Arise! Books Collective member]
• “Expert Identifies extreme groups in state” includes the quote Arise wouldn’t align itself with any violent tactics–so I guess I’m an extremist, but I’m not violent. Good to know. [Jim]
• Driver’s license: It's not just for driving anymore as more and more non-transportation information makes it onto the licenses. Minnesota is kind of rare (one of six states) that doesn’t have your social security number associated with the license, but Dick Day, the Senate Minority leader wants to put more information on there. [strib]
• Guard says he lost job in T-shirt flap. The security officer at Crossgates Mall who signed a trespassing complaint against a war protester was fired Friday. He says he was just doing what mall management told him to do, and now he’s been fired for it. [endwar]
• Strummer News has ongoing information about the late great Joe Strummer–tributes–including March 21st at The Turf Club in St. Paul featuring Plate O Shrimp and a webcast station featuring some of Joe’s faves and some of Joe’s stuff.
  The Clash will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Monday. [Jim]
• World of Ends is a sort of updated cluetrain aimed at people like the MPAA and RIAA who don’t get the Net. The only problem is that it, like the ClueTrain, talks at its audience, rather than talking to them. But then that’s what manifestos do. [boing boing]
• In response to the World of Ends, Stavros gives us a World of Assholes. [emptybottle]
