Loose Coins: Recreational wiretapping 101
http://loosecoin.blogspot.com/2006/04/recreational-wiretapping-101.html
Maureen Dowd Picture Rolling Stone. Tuesday, April 04, 2006. Yes, it's been a while again. So, where have I been. I have a good excuse! I've been doing my part to contribute to national security. Well, me and my tech specialist - the next door neighbor's kid, Carver. You see, I was thinking about this whole flap over "domestic spying" wiretaps while watching "24", and BAM! Might get into all kinds of hot water for tapping phone calls, a private citizen. Might be able to do. And could probably get the pro...

Loose Coins: May 2005
http://loosecoin.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Maureen Dowd Picture Rolling Stone. Saturday, May 21, 2005. I've been looking for a phrase to describe The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. While avoilding the words 'disappointingly' and 'uninspired', or making reference to the ego it was clearly intended to indulge instead of rendering the story. I think I've got it:. You had some of the most brilliant material ever written to work with, you jackasses. Posted by Doug at 1:38 PM. Wednesday, May 18, 2005. The Times, they are a-changin'. Senate officials...

Maureen Dowd Picture Rolling Stone. Wednesday, June 28, 2006. Ah, our cherished freedoms. Our rights to life, to liberty, and to the pursuit of our own happiness. The right to print recklessly and irresponsibly whatever we can make a controversy over in pursuit of profit. That's America salad. If you've read another blog this week - any other blog, really - you'll already be familiar with the latest act of. Conscientious patriotism that the New York Times has. Performed on our behalf in detailing. Lastly...

Loose Coins: November 2005
http://loosecoin.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Maureen Dowd Picture Rolling Stone. Sunday, November 13, 2005. An anonymous reader points out. Three weeks without Friday Frickin' Cat Blogging is just too much to try to get away with, so without further ado here are some affable, fuzzy felines. Just revel in their puckish humor! I've had an epic post brewing in my head regarding the. Combattants français de liberté. And you knew it, didn't you? Posted by Doug at 5:40 AM. Saturday, November 12, 2005. In Flanders fields the poppies blow. 20% more evil fr...

Loose Coins: I surrender
http://loosecoin.blogspot.com/2004/11/i-surrender.html
Maureen Dowd Picture Rolling Stone. Friday, November 12, 2004. Remember when I mentioned. Getting an awful lot of Maureen Dowd search hits, and how weird it was that my little ol' blog would be ranked so high? I thought that particular fixation would diminish as the article aged, and those search hits would peter out. I even posted the picture. To keep people from having to search for it more than once. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the referrers of nearly 1/3 of all logged traffic. Don't be...

Loose Coins: The Cornucopia of slurs
http://loosecoin.blogspot.com/2006/07/cornucopia-of-slurs.html
Maureen Dowd Picture Rolling Stone. Friday, July 28, 2006. The Cornucopia of slurs. I remain confident that some day a denigrating comment will pop into the head of Howard Dean and just stay there for a change. Until then, he's mighty entertaining: Dean Calls Iraqi PM an 'Anti-Semite'. Thanks to the Cranky Neocon of Six Meat Buffet. For tipping me off. To the fact that Dean's given me yet another excuse to shamelessly trot out this video. I swear to God this will never get old for me. Where the hell have...

Loose Coins: December 2005
http://loosecoin.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Maureen Dowd Picture Rolling Stone. Thursday, December 22, 2005. The erosion of alternately "online privacy", "your digital rights", and "the Internet" has been an increasingly recurring theme in writings both technical and political for a few years now. These pieces generally range from reasonable, good-faith doubts about developments in the pol-tech world to worst-case assumptions (like my WGIG reservations. It began life as a research project in military communications. The Pentagon wanted a syste...

Loose Coins: Who's Winning the French National Sport
http://loosecoin.blogspot.com/2006/04/whos-winning-french-national-sport.html
Maureen Dowd Picture Rolling Stone. Saturday, April 15, 2006. Who's Winning the French National Sport. Despite the removal of France's youth job law, the French continue to riot. Students in France have kept up their protests against the government's youth employment reforms, but on a much smaller scale than last week. The protests came despite the government's decision to scrap the youth jobs law, or CPE, which had unleashed a wave of anger. Posted by Chris at 8:24 PM. Nice graphicshey wait a second!

Loose Coins: Root causes
http://loosecoin.blogspot.com/2006/04/root-causes.html
Maureen Dowd Picture Rolling Stone. Friday, April 14, 2006. Fortunately, in this age of new media, the voices of the misunderstood victims of this propaganda campaign whose beliefs are so misconstrued cannot be silenced. They are readily available to anyone who is simply willing to look at them. For example, there is this Frenchman who is willing nay, eager to explain to all who will listen what it is that drives him to his desparate crimes. This CNN video. Would he do it again tomorrow? Moussaoui said o...

Loose Coins: It's that bad?
http://loosecoin.blogspot.com/2006/04/its-that-bad.html
Maureen Dowd Picture Rolling Stone. Friday, April 28, 2006. A poignant conclusion from one of my favorite analytical writers (for the insufferably curious, the others are Mark Steyn, David Warren, and Victor Davis Hanson - Charles Krauthammer is about one or two brilliant articles from making the list). And my-oh-my, what day is it? Gee - that couldn't be a transparently thin excuse for some Friday Frickin' Cat Blogging. Thompson gazelles don't grow on trees, you know. Posted by Doug at 11:54 PM.
