Alison Krause
I'm watching pn Tivo last Saturday's Austin City Limits, with Alison Kraus. A very nice performance; she has a terrfic voice of course; the only time I've seen her before was in the Down from the Mountain movie. If you get a chance to see this one in rerun (or maybe this is a rerun), do it.
Funny thing: I've always thought her name sounded familiar. While looking for her site on Google, I found out why: Allison (note the two l's) Krause was one of the students killed at Kent State University in Ohio in 1970.

Warbot's warble
Automated punditry! Rhetoric on autopilot! Warbot 2.0 is the warblog era's answer to Eliza. [Link courtesy Tom Tomorrow] [Scott Rosenberg's Links & Comment]
Wonderful stuff! Like the Richard Kenner's old Travesty program (link to come):
Al Gore, Jr and his cunning liberals are at it again. "You know, Iraqis haven't really gotten along with Islamic fundamentalists ever since hundreds of thousands got killed fighting them in the 1980s," he said at an Ojai drum circle. Oh? Now that's just outrageously spiteful treachery. For the love of Christ, do the adulterers know no shame? What ever happened to the true liberalism of yesteryear, of human rights activism and bombing other countries?
Reload often: it's different every time!

'Jesus' Inscription on Stone May Be Earliest Ever Found. An inscription in stone found in or near Jerusalem bears the words "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus." That could well be the earliest artifact ever found relating to the historical Jesus. By John Noble Wilford. [New York Times: NYT HomePage]
Fascinating, though I had thought the actual existence of this Jesus person was not really in doubt. What's in doubt is whether he actually said the things they say he said, or did the things he said they did. The truth is still that more people have seen Elvis after his death than saw Jesus after his.
