CRUNK

If anyone can tell me the location of the Terich brothers' "crunk" new website I'd be most grateful.

I think my blog has been kidnapped.

Survey: employees overworked, stressed out, fed up - Nov. 11, 2003

Yikes! I knew it was bad, but not this bad. CNN reports that eight out of ten employees plan to look for another job once the economy picks up again.

Many employees are overworked, stressed out, fed up -- and eager to quit their jobs once the economy picks up. In fact, worker angst is so pronounced it has surprised even the most tuned-in human resource professionals. They say employee anger is now almost palpable.

Well, at least I'm in good company. (So to speak)

The People! United! etc.

No Ralphs, no Vons, no Pavilions. And no Borders, no Amazon.com.

Palaeos

Palaeos is an incredible palaeontology/evolution/geochronology/ecology website that you can get lost in for hours. This is the kind of thing that hypertext was made for, kids.

Much talk lately about the horrors of the so-called "Partial Birth Abortion". But what exactly is it?

I think that I shall never see...

Wingnut Debating School

The always informative Atrios brings us a collection of rhetorical tactics misused by right wingers in their arguments: the War on Metaphor, the War on Analogy, Pick the Definition, and the Obsession with Irrelevant Context.

Radio Darvish

Radio Darvish, an online radio station dedicated to Persian traditional music. (I prefer the instrumental works over the vocal pieces, but chacun à son goût, as the Persians say.)

Yahoo! News - Bicyclists Accuse DJs of Inciting Attacks

Every so often we like to do another "Clear Channel Sucks" post, and, obligingly, Clear Channel helps us out by doing something particularly idiotic. Clear Channel DJs in Cleveland, Houston and Raleigh (if that's where they really were) encouraged drivers to intimidate, and even assualt bicyclists. The three stations have apologized, and Clear Channel has donated $10,000 and air time to promote bicycle safely.
