A Flash animation by Alan Becker.
An animator faces his own animation in deadly combat. The battlefield? The Flash interface itself.
A stick figure is created by an animator with the intent to torture. The stick figure drawn by the animator will be using everything he can find - the brush tool, the eraser tool - to get back at his tormentor. It’s resourcefulness versus power. Who will win? You can find out yourself.
Although this animation uses the Flash interface, it felt to me as though it were getting revenge on all those graphics interfaces that drive me bonkers.
Thanks to Peter Kuttner, whoever he is, for the link.

Okay, I was right about Bush rolling out a new product in September but wrong about that product being a new war. Turns out the product is the old war, and here is General Petraeus testifying just in time for everybody to get all patriotastic about this anniversary.
[Added: And bin Laden pipes up, too, just at the right time to scare us into lockstep in a policy guaranteed to give him just what he wants.]
It’s disgusting and depressing.
I will leave it to the experts to count the ways:
Tom Engelhardt: Launching Brand Petraeus: Progress by the Numbers
BagNews shows us a flash from the past.
Kevin Drum points out that Bush has found his exit strategy.
Let Juan Cole tell you the realpolitik of the situation: Can Gen. Petraeus and Ryan Crocker Save the Next Democratic President?
End with Opus. because at this point we need a laugh.

Good on Barney Frank; he has impressed me lately, although my only previous knowledge of him was through...
