February 17th, 2005 Required Reading - I suspect everyone is going to link to it, so I might as well too. Today's Peggy Noonan editorial is on blogging, its associated myths, and its future. Just go read it, I'll still be here when you're done. More proof the NY Times is the most out of touch paper ever - As if you needed any more proof to draw that conclusion. They thought a musician was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. At least they corrected themselves, though it took a week to post the correction. Exercise Those Distributed Intelligence Muscles - Follow along, if you please:
Given that it took the Washington Post to break the story on the drones, indications are that Iran's air defense capabilities are very limited. Either that or the US drones are more stealthy than has been indicated in the past. Either way, that's a good thing. From a different perspective the story, as reported by the WaPo, seems odd. To quote:
Let's look at a map. The western and northern borders? Looking for nuclear material? That doesn't make any sense, since the reactor they have is at Bushehr (unless the probes were looking for trace elemental signatures at weapons loading facilities in the north). Now, if the probes were helping aid Iraqi border security, that makes sense for the west, but in the north? Something is funny here, and I think its the Washington Post's corroboration efforts. Oh, joy - Coffee has been found to reduce the risk of liver cancer. Now if they could only find that to be true for Martinis as well. Astronomy Linky Fun - Sounds of Huygens Requires Windows Media Player. Sorry, my Mac-using readers (both of you). You'll just have to get a real computer. Oh, wait, Media Player doesn't run on Linux. Poetry - Limericks for today. There once was a screamer named Howie There once was a rabbit named Bugs Bunny
