Drink from the firehose
This is what it must be like to be Jesus, flying through space and hearing the prayers of Earthlings. Twingly is a screensaver which shows a gently spinning earth, lit up by a stream of all blog activity by geographical location. Their demo says it better:

Why does Copernicus hate freedom?
If ever there were a clear cut case for tarring and feathering a member of the House, this is it.
Barnes' memo pointed fellow state legislators to the information at fixedearth.com which rails against the “a mystic, anti-Christ ‘holy book’ of the Pharisee Sect of Judaism” and claims that “the earth is not rotating … nor is it going around the sun.” They've even caught on to the "centuries-old conspiracy" on the part of Jewish physicists to destroy Christianity.So the Defamation League is really upset. Understandable, but that's it? How about the Poles? Copernicus was one of them. Or the Italians -- Galileo was big on this whole earth revolving thing too, as I recall. Or how about anyone who benefits from the luxuries of the Enlightenment, like, say, clocks, or machined nails, or, oh I don't know, bicameral legistatures?
Christ, what an asshole.

Lite-Brite terrorism
Boing Boing has the best coverage on the ATHF bomb scare. Including this line (not theirs) which sums it up best:
If the last six years needed a punchline, it was delivered in Boston yesterday.Not to mention this longer comment:
On MSNBC about 45 minutes ago they had some woman in a power suit pontificating about it all saying that there is no way you can "over react to a situation like this" and that "when you idea of a prank is someone elses idea of terrorism you have a problem." No, the problem is when a goofy cartoon character made out of a home made Light-Bright giving you the finger if your idea of terrorism you are the one who needs a Bahamavention.Olbermann also covered it pretty well.
