1. Thanks for the links!
2. The washington policy center link requires you to have a log in name and password, am I missing anything?
3. My advice to the EFF is do away with the flash heavy fancy site that they probably paid too much for, and instead go to a flatter simple site like Sound Politics. People don't come to blogs for the fancy flash, they come for the commentary. While waiting for the page to load and bog down their CPU, they'll go elsewhere. Other than that, the content is excellent.
4. I won't have time to consistently read through those sites. Will you periodically be posting references and comments to those that would affect your readership?
5. Thanks for the links Stephan.
6. Jeff @ 3: It is slow. Loads faster the second time, though, once you have it in cache, and the content is displayed while the Flash loads, so that need not slow anyone down. But for what looks like a fairly small .swf, the load time is suspiciously slow -- they might be self-hosting and just need to throw a little more bandwidth at it.
7. wow! some fun- look out Slog!
8. Thanks Stefan!
9. People interested in the Discovery Institute may want to attend this weekend's ceremony sponsored by the DI at the
Karl Rove Memorial in Fremont
10. What no Dino Rossi 'I'm not running for Governor but I'll discuss all the issues like I would if I were running for Governor' blog?
11. Merry Christmas to me.
12. Cato, been hanging out at the Slog or HA?
Hopefully, he is still running. Compare it to Fred Thompson this year, potentially runner Al Gore this year or Newt Gingrich. The trick is to delay as long as possible before "announcing".
Opposite Rossi, how about Gregoire's recent tour? Only during election season do we see her and one is coming up. She's not announced but is campaigning like one.
Horrible system we have.
13. Opposite Rossi, how about Gregoire's recent tour?
She's Governor, it's automatically assumed she's running for re-election unless publicly stated otherwise. As Governor she already has to go to all areas of the state and speak to their needs.
Being Governor is much like being in any other elected public office your always running for re-election unless your retiring or moving up to a higher public office.
Does Gregoire accept donations to her "non-profit" campaign? Nope. She gets her 'not a re-election campaign' trips paid for by the taxpayer. =)
BTW, Happy New Year Stefan.
14. So you're now promoting the Discovery Institute? Do you really want to be associated with people who don't believe in evolution and instead believe in a world that was created in 7 days, a world where dinosaurs and humans lived together 5,000 years ago?

I've always wanted to ask them why there are no cave drawings of dinosaurs.
16. It was not 5000 years ago. First this is the year 5678, Second, the DI agrees that the world was created intelligently a long time ago. Do you think creation was unintelligent? Do come to the dove hunt.
17. "davet" -- I've stated in the past that I support many of the Discovery Institute's programs, but that I'm not on board with "Intelligent Design".
18. Stefan,
Thanks for the posting and recommending us.
