I've realized something that really irks me about Edwards

He uses extremely emotive language, and seems to usually cite an individual imaginary case to try to pull heart-strings. His experience as a trial lawyer is evident in his rhetoric.

And speaking of, his "two America" rhetoric makes me sick.

I'm watching the primary results come in.

What didn't happen at the Superbowl

Steven Den Beste: What didn't happen

And the biggest story of the day? That it was one of the few Superbowls where the score was close? That at half-time a pop-singer's breast got exposed, whether accidentally or on purpose?

Nope. The biggest story was the one we didn't read: "Terrorist attack causes 30,000 deaths". It is the deafening silence, the dog not barking in the night. For the third straight year since 9/11, a crowd the size of a small city concentrated itself in a stadium and sat for several hours to watch the most heavily televised live event of the year. And then that crowd dispersed and went home.

I thought the same thing.

del.icio.us is getting slow

Uh oh, just as I'm finally getting around to setting up the script to syndicate del.icio.us links on my site, the site seems to be getting really slow under the strain of it's growing popularity.

Though, the slowness seems to be sporadic.

On a semi-related note, it seems my programming fonts page meets a need (or is at least a curiosity).
