Apparently Seth Green is joining the cast of Scooby Doo 2. WTF? Okay, it is inconceivable to me given how bad the first Scooby film was that anyone would greenlight a sequel. Second, since Sarah Michelle Gellar’s career is going to last about as long as her hubbie’s one BTVS is finished, why not just…

On April 16 the anti-war student group at the university I work had a lunch-time protest/get together near a footpath where three of the largest dorms come together. Although I generally support the war, I wonder sometimes how I’d sell the anti-war message if I was on the other side. Not like this. Appealing to…

The BBC has an interesting story about SARS in China. Specifically, the Chinese government at first had a media blackout about SARS altogether. It has relented somewhat, but is clearly not telling its own people, much less the rest of the world, the true extent of SARS cases in China. So people in China are…

John Kerry has said that, if elected President, he will only nominate Supreme Court Justices who are pro-abortion. But, he is quick to add, this is not a litmus test, Litmus tests are politically motivated tests; this is a constitutional right. I think people who go to the Supreme Court ought to interpret the Constitution…

The other day I mentioned the problems that Scott Rosenberg was having at his Salon.Com blog with some folks who filled up the comments section of his site with posts that were hundreds of kilobytes long. The person(s) in question were posting so much text so quickly that according to Rosenberg it was bringing the…

According to this Wired News story, Sean-Paul Kelley — who maintains the increasingly popular weblog The Agnoist — simply cut and pasted reports from Stratfor and passed them along unsourced on his weblog to give the impression he had some sort of inside channel on war-related issues. The Wired story reports, In a series of…
