(J)Blog Roundup - 2006-10-09
There is a nonzero, nontrivial probability that we are totally fucked. At least the work week is almost over.
* For various reasons, we had the chance to revisit James Lilek's 9/11 commemoration yesterday evening. If you haven't seen it, you must. And if you have - given the events of the last 24 hours, you ought to see it again. After you've watched the full 8 minutes, consider these three things: (1) for a good portion of the Left, the phrase "9/11 changed everything" is thrown around sarcastically to make fun of conservatives who insist on the seriousness of the War against political Islam, (2) it is difficult to believe that we will go another half a decade without a 9/11-level terrorist attack on US soil, this time God-forbid with WMDs, (3) those two dynamics are not necessarily linked, but they are also not unrelated.
* Ed Lasky titles a post about James Baker undermining the Bush administration "With friends like James Baker". We weren't aware that anyone really though of him that way.
* Someone tried to get to Anne Lieberman's daughter, and she is very pissed off. If this was a movie, he would already be dead.
* VDH talks about the Enlightenment, Socrates, Locke, Galileo, the Sophists (!!), and Descartes. Because he can.
* Gawker declares open season on the LAT. Good.
* Judith at Kesher Talk follows Juan Cole's antics, commenting that "one of our special projects is tracking the academic and bloggish career of Juan Cole". Oh Judith... achem. Maybe a little recognition, yeah? (cf. blogging, shameless)
* Yeah, this was pretty much inevitable. Of course the US attacked its own embassy - that was obvious from the beginning, just like the DKos denizens explained. At length.
* Too smart for our own good liberal jblogger DovBear has some minor concern with some Republican. Something about security cameras. We're sure that it's easily as significant as the undeniable anti-Jewish and anti-Israel tilt of the Democratic baseand as the deep psychological and social de facto terrorist apologism of career Democrats .
* Dry Bones on the nuclear testing thing
* Elder of Zion continues to investigate righteous Arabs who saved Jews from Nazi death camps.
