It seems my list of longform articles is getting longer. I'll try to divide them up in a way that relieves you of jumping to ones you aren't that interested in. The first three are journalism / literature critiques. The copyright treaty kerfluffle seems to be heating up. Why a commercial treaty needs to be negotiated behind a national security secrecy barrier is beyond me. Is Miley Cyrus secretly a security asset or are the entertainments she stars in the only thing we still export? Beyond rumors and engineered leaks, the text of the treaty is still under wraps. Don't throw out that mimo machine, the days of samizdat might return. (for your own good, of course)
- More on the ABC studio manipulation
- Of interest to bloggers: Page Views
- Promethus Bound
Here's a nice bit on Big Bird's birthday. He's six, but the actor that plays him is getting on in years.
- An encomium for Bird
The next two are health matters. The first is about the immortal cells cultured from Henritta Lacks, used in just about every histology lab in the world, and the second is about the health of the Church. The same kind of monkey business keeps on popping up, and the men behind the curtain are finding that their say-so isn't quite as potent a tool as it used to be.
The next two are foreign policy, but unusual in that they are about policy, not a thinly disguised jeremiad.
- Thai Red Shirts
- Europe feeling snubbed
And the last two are some good old fashioned cranky political writing.
