4. December, 2003 - one more day
- … until Bubba Ho-Tep opens at the Uptown Theatre. I’m planning on going, and a few other folks have expressed interest. Drop an email if you’re interested in joining us. Showtimes are 7:40pm and 10pm. Not sure which one we’ll be going to yet, so express a preference if you have one. And Saturday and Sunday are the Minneapolis/St. Anthony Gun Show at Apache Plaza. Looks like I’m going to have to pry loose some time over the next couple days.
- Mozilla’s adblock finally implements one of the cooler features of Internet Explorer. Sadly, neither really matters to me anymore, as I’m using Safari for just about all of my web-browsing, and it doesn’t have that feature yet. [reed]
- U-area landlords band together to protect themselves from the results of the increased inspections. It’s kinda funny how my landlord just went through our house and has spent the past two months getting it up to code. But other landlords seem to prefer to fight making their houses safer. Maybe they’ll actually come up with a plan to make the cheap housing around here safer, but I’ll be surprised if that’s the result.
- The new medicare prescription benefit is Medicine Conservatives Can’t Swallow. More importantly,
The GOP has now no credibility as a party of fiscal discipline or small government.
Not that they really did before, but aside from the medical savings account bits of the bill, this particular bill’s a huge expansion of government spending and entitlement programs.
- National Review Online speculates about whether Pres. Bush is going to push for putting Americans on the Moon again this month or next. [vinnie]
- Critics: Patriot Act Warnings Come to Fruition as more details come out about the FBI using it against strip-club owners in Las Vegas. I’m pretty sure I’d blogged this when it first broke, but the only trace I can find is a strib article that’s old enough to be gone from the web. For that matter, this story is a couple weeks old too. [instapundit]
