    Wired 15.03

    Wired spammed me into a $10 subscription. I figured that with people like Neal Stephenson and Kevin Kelley writing on occasion for the magazine it would be worth the hamilton. Not a bad read.

    I particularly liked the short spot on Thomas Heatherwick, a guy to keep an eye out for. (coolest bridge ever?)

    Bush Impeachment

    Somebody found a trick in the House rules that will let a state legislature introduce presidential impeachment proceedings. And Illinois is going for it.

    Should HJR0125 be passed by the Illinois General Assembly, the US House will be forced by House Rules to take up the issue of impeachment as a privileged bill, meaning it will take precedence over other House business.

    Sounds like fun. (California and Maine look to jump on the bandwagon.)

    EFF: Class-Action Lawsuit Against AT&T

    AT&T indeed has been passing phone conversations through the NSA for the purpose of spying. Huh.

    the NSA uses powerful computers to “data-mine” the contents of these Internet and telephone communications for suspicious names, numbers, and words, and to analyze traffic data indicating who is calling and emailing whom in order to identify persons who may be “linked” to “suspicious activities,” suspected terrorists or other investigatory targets, whether directly or indirectly.

    Why Are You So Angry

    Jon: Are you still doing the boycott of France?
    O’Reilly: Yes, we’re boycotting France. That’s, that’s why we can’t watch Colbert.
    Jon: [Incredulous stammering]
    Audience: [booing]
    O’Reilly: [to audience] Oh, stop, stop it, will ya? What, people from Marseilles? What? [impersonating a marseillaise] Whooo, Whooo, give me more wine [imaginary glugging of wine]. [serious now] I mean these are our enemies over there! What is the matter wi…
    Jon: France?!!
    O’Reilly: What is the matter with you!

    People actually watch O’Reilly’s show? This country must be stupider then I could have ever imagined.

    I’ll admit to enjoying the Daily Show, there was a time that I wouldn’t miss an episode. But I’ve never watched Fox News. And holy shit – this guy has the biggest show on fox news? A fucking childrens book? A following?!

    The Morning News - I Am Gary Benchley, by Paul Ford

    I never thought Benchley was a real person, but I did love the story. Now the book is out.

    One agency, ICM, figured out I was behind Benchley, and I decided if they could puzzle out my identity from the clues I left in Gary
