• Holy moly, Josh Marshall's been blogging for six years now! Happy blogiversary, Josh!
• Holy moly again and isn't this sad, Liz at Blondesense reports that Australian scientists have created a "wearable instrument shirt" that lets folks play "real" air guitar, tambourine or percussion.
• Holy moly the third, via Oliver Willis it turns out that idiot perpetuating the newest version of the anthrax scare (this time on celebs as well as politicians) turns out to a a Freeper (i.e., a frequent poster at the radical reactionary site Free Republic). Not surprising, and one more example of the real threat to our freedoms. Remember, the people actually harming the country are always the first to accuse their opponents of doing so because that's how they think.
• Speaking of projection and so on, Lance has a great companion piece to the one Glenn wrote yesterday about Beltway insiders. The only thing with which I disagree is when he talks about how these insiders hold liberal bloggers in more contempt than anyone else, as I just don't think we're as important as we keep saying we are...
• "He pointed a skinny finger at me and hollered, 'And I bet you look like your mom!'" Oh man, I'm so sorry Lindsay won't be able to come to my birthday party, she's such a scream!
• Tild explains to PZ Myers what the deal was with Steve Bell's cartoon; I didn't know it was "after Tenniel" either, having never seen the original. For his part, PZ reminds us that Cephalopodmas is coming up.
• Bless you, Hugo! You hated Borat for pretty much the same reason I have no desire to see it. Pranking people may be aesthetically genius or whatnot, but it's still mean and sadistic.
• Zuzu's back! (Does happy dance.)
• Via Jessica, so nice to see second-wave feminism reduced to bras and aprons. Also at Feministing, Ann observes that all the anchors for election coverage were possessed of y-chromosomes, so any mentions of a Year of the Woman were of course from an outsider's POV.
There, all caught up again for now...
