... reporters don't show up.
Seriously.
The White House had to round up interns to fill up the seats.
We're just so seriously over the whole Bush thing.

Seattle PI may shutter in 60 days
Newspapers are having a tough time of it with the economy and Web competition.
The latest coming to the chopping block - the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, home of my favorite editorial cartoonist, David Horsey. (Of course, he has a cartoon about it, as well as a blog post.)
If no buyer is found for the paper it will go "web only" in the next 60 days.

The Letter of Last Resort
Slate has a piece about a recently revealed little bit of MADness (that's Mutually Assured Destruction, if you're wondering).
A letter, in a safe within a safe, from the Prime Minister of Britain, that gives permission to a nuke sub commander to fire at will.
Shades of Dr. Strangelove, anyone?

Truth behind Rick Warren's AIDS work in Africa
Rick Warren's key point person in his AIDS work in Africa called for the arrest of known homosexuals and published the names, addresses and photographs of gays on his website, saying they were trying to "recruit" young Uganda children into their lifestyle.
Again, I'm not sorry I'm changing my registration to Independent on Inauguration Day - Obama should have never given extremist Rick Warren a prominent place at the ceremony. Warren and Obama are trying to have it both ways - talking about "reaching across the aisle", but, at the same time, wanting to stigmatize LGBTs.

Serving a 20 year old turntable
In this era of disposible electronics (Apple's line of iPods and iPhones with their locked in, non-user changeable batteries come to mind), it's interesting to see one company that really stands behind their products.
I ran into this article when looking up some info recently on my Denon turntable; the piece is from 2004, but it's worth a read to hear one person's experience getting a Denon turntable repaired by the company, twenty years after the turntable was manufactured.
