Small stirrings of life over at Blogger.
New 'OneBlogThis' to support all browsers. Still no upgrade allowed to PRO. I wonder how many thousands of potential upgraders like myself have moved on to greener pastures in the last several months? I'm happy in Userland but would probably still be over there if upgrades had been allowed.

Web surfing could get 'disorder' classification [Daily Pundit]
"Excessive Internet use that harms personal relationships or affects work performance could be classified as a new psychiatric disorder that could effect businesses, researchers at University of Florida said. "
Okay, let's get it officially classified as a disorder, so I can start collecting full Social Security disability for sitting on my ass and doing this.

Three Great Things About the Recall:
1) More Jill Stewart on CNN.
2) Kaus' long-overdue coming-out party as a tabloid gossip columnist (and an uncharacteristically productive one at that!).
3) Dude, this is so damned fun. We were feeling slightly down about everyone dumping on us & all, and about that budget thingie, but when Arnold pulled the fakeroo on the teevee show, then let loose a grin while saying "the great state of California" (just like Jeff Solomon did when marrying off our pal Coulter the other day), and we began to digest the prospects of an Arnold-Arianna-Larry Flynt-Gary Coleman race, I mean, people were jabbering excitedly on the streets about this stuff. Or at least I was, walking to Acapulco to watch the Spanish-language karaoke. At any rate, this is going to be nothing but fun for the next two months, and though I've always loathed Austrians on principle, Arnold today made me like him for the first time since True Lies. What did the war hawks used to say whenever Bush would refuse to rule out using nukes? It's useful to have you think that we're really that crazy. Same goes for California. We're plum loco out here … and you're jealous. Admit it.

California Is 'Meanest' State for Homeless.
Well halalujia! At least we're doing one thing right out here. Say....isn't Hillary out west right now? I'm sure she would love for you to all come home with her.(LP)
The homeless coalition's report excoriated San Francisco for advertising campaigns that urge residents not to give money to panhandlers, police "harassment" to keep homeless people out of certain communities and efforts by Gavin Newsom, a member of the county... [Zogby Blog]

Gun violence folly.
A careful reading of the Corzine-Kennedy bill, however, suggests that it would give sweeping powers to an attorney general (particularly if someone like Janet Reno were to assume that position) to make life miserable for anyone involved in the... [Zogby Blog]

Anyone can be a Democrat simply by not thinking and voting that way. But if you want to be a GOOD Liberal Democrat, there are some core myths you must believe:
1. You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of Federal funding.
2. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.
3. You have to believe that guns, in the hands of law-abiding Americans, are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese communists.
4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.
5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by yuppies driving SUVs.
6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural.
7. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.
8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.
9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists from Hollywood do.
10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
11. You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it supports certain parts of the constitution, while the ACLU is good, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.
12. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.
13. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren't.
14. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.
15. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex offender belongs in the White House (from '93 through
2000)!
16. You have to believe that homosexual parades should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.
17. You have to believe that illegal Democratic Party funding by the Communist Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States.
Vote Democratic ... It's easier than thinking!

Heh, I remember when people used to say stuff like this about Rush Limbaugh (now they are saying that webloggers don't have a chance when compared to Rush). I used to listen to Rush back when he was in Sacramento. Later he showed up on KGO radio in SF on Saturday nights (that's the slot they put people who don't have any listeners).
How do you get millions of readers? One at a time, baby, one at a time. [The Scobleizer Weblog]
