Can you spell "NO WAR"? How about NUDE?


In Sydney, Australia 300 naked women spelled out NO WAR in protest to US threat of attacking Iraq.
That sounds impressive, but in fact the first such protsest in Sydney, last month, featured 750 women! Not to be left out in the cold, naked men in Sydney spelled out Peace last week, tho they could only get up [sik.] a force of 250 or so.
Here's the call-to-disrobe published before the protest.


In Vancouver naked protestors made a Peace sign. It turns out that the whole thing traces back to "BARING WITNESS" which started in... guess what state? Of course there are also Naked for Peace opportunities in San Francisco.

Gibson points out this link about the Gaudi tower that was originally planned for the eventual site of the WTC.

Bill Clinton. Juror?


There is not a lot more that I need to say. Just the link.

Blogger FAQ-ers Google



Ev/Pyra/Blogger has now posted a FAQ about the Google buys Pyra deal. Google has stayed mum, press-wise. Likewise, Neil Gaiman seems to have no comment. Not that probably anyone has asked him. Though you could ask him, since he's a customer. Another famous Blogger user is William Gibson who today posted about Roky Erikson and Starbuck's.

A nice column from Michael Kinsley on this whole Miguel Estrada nomination and filibuster. How do I feel about it? I am always a fan of amateur theatrics; if you can call politicians amateur in that regard. Estrada is definitely putting on the sheep's clothing to try to tiptoe into a position which has been the waiting chambers for a shot at the Supreme Court bench. So I'm bullish on filibusters.

The American People don't want war. Well, at least not RIGHT NOW and that's a start.
