Escape the war
And lose yourself somewhere. I recommend the goofy pages.
Warlog
The BBC has its reporters (b)logging events in their various locations. I don’t know how censored these are, probably less attention will be paid to them than full length reports, but whether they are or not the snippets are interesting.
Big, Bad
Almost everything I found in weblogs.com’s recently updated list was a rightwinger gloating about killing Iraqis or complaining about people exercising their rights to free speech, so it was good to find a long and thoughtful piece on Mike Plaisted’s Anti-War blog about the invasion as a threat to other countries and Democrats’ cowardice in speaking up.
Paris, Texas
Vandals in Austin, Texas attacked the home of a Frenchwoman. A “Whites Only” sign in the Dallas County Records Building will not be removed. Lawmakers propose a higher tax on French wine. Moon the judge, get an extra six months. A service to foster military pets whilst their owners are serving overseas.
History Lessons
After all those attempts to equate Dubya with Churchill, a piece presenting the opposite argument.

Terror
If this is a war to make us more secure, why is the Government telling us to be more afraid? I’m really pissed off because I wanted, at some point- when my finances recover, to do a bit of world travelling and now they’ve gone and made it ridiculously dangerous for me.

NSHIT (2)
One of the ministerial resignations earlier this week was the man responsible for the NHS’s IT strategy (it does have one, honest). His replacement is going to have a hard time trying to enforce standardisation.
Tony fucking Wilson
I notice that Anthony H. Wilson has gone populist with his name, rebranding for his return to news presenting. However, after a live outburst on the afternoon bulletin he may be up for another career change.
