HaloScan has crapped out. Again. Gah, but I'm sick of this. Who's a good hosting company for two guys running a blog for nothing but their own self-gratification? They need to allow something by way of decent blogging software, probably Moveable Type, although I don't have an opinion yet on whether that's the right bandwagon to hop on.

Crap, but this is irritating.
BBC news chief claims there's no systemic bias to their reporting. This would be more meaningful if he hadn't been speaking at meeting of Media Workers Against The War. It's okay to be biased; everybody is. It's not okay to be biased enough to go to a meeting for Media Workers Against The War and give a speech while claiming you're neither for nor against the war. That isn't being unbiased; that's flat-out lying.
What's the opposite of "nationalize"?

Like most people, I didn't go to West Point. So this Flash animation describing U.S.Army doctrine for dealing with an emerging target was all shiny and new to me.

I've only started reading this essay on the roots of European anti-Americanism, so I can't really comment yet. I also have a habit of losing bookmarks, so I'll stuff it in here until I get back to it.
