Sometimes it’s easy to get inured to all the lying that goes on and chalk it up to ‘politics,’ but then some things make your realize that no, it’s still really wrong, especially when these people have been given power and entrusted with great responsibilities:
Rice said in a TV interview that she wants to testify publicly, but is constitutionally barred from doing so, a senior administration official said Sunday afternoon, before the program aired. Rice also said in the “60 Minutes” interview that she wants to meet with family members of the Sept. 11 victims, to hear their concerns, the official said.
Jeez, constitutionally barred? Have they even read this document (well, we know Ashcroft doesn’t care about it)? And for their information NSA Sandy Berger testified while serving back in ’97.
Kerry quotes Bible, irks Bush camp
ST. LOUIS — Sen. John Kerry cited a Bible verse Sunday to criticize leaders who have “faith but has no deeds,” prompting President George W. Bush’s spokesman to accuse Kerry of exploiting scripture for political gain.
Oh my, now that’s funny.
Just popped back in my head. Internally at Yahoo, web standards is sold as ‘LSM’, Layered Semantic Markup. Actually, I’m sort of half-and-half on either term. ‘web standards’ really isn’t all that descriptive. HTML 3.2 is a web standard. In fact, nothing in the spec says you can’t lay out tables and spacers and not be completely valid and conformant. On the other hand, the term semantic markup gets thrown around way too much. It’d be easy to replace the ‘S’ w/ structured, but I agree with Tim that ‘descriptive’ might be the most accurate term. That being said, and while at the end of the day, I’m just not convinced on how semantically rich (X)HTML is, I guess semantics (meaning) is the goal, so maybe it’s okay. Also, I do really like the ‘layered’ part, which suggests the idea of organizing around different qualia. And nothing like a TLA to convince the PHBs of the ROI of LSM.
Okaaay, back to work.

Hmm, haven’t bothered to do any searching with it, but obviously Google Personalized’s approach of manually creating a category profile is only a stepping stone to say, building a profile from your past searches or via *eh-hrrrm* scanning other personal information exchanges.
Interesting tidbits. They require DOM/JS support for creating a profile, an yes, it is Kaltix based:
Hmm, China blocks Typepad – they still haven’t learned that true control is most effective when everyone is free to say and read whatever the heck they want but that no one listens or can be bothered to do anything. Also, some good points.
I’ve forgotten how much I’ve come to depend on CRM114. Out of the last 100 messages, 67 were spam. (While I’m not getmailing, I’m using Apple Mail’s Bayesian, which works pretty well [I’ve train it along w/ CRM114])
