It is the rarest of moments: President Bush and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are on a collision course over a giant farm bill, but it is Bush who is broadly aligned with liberal Bay Area activists pushing for reform, while the San Francisco Democrat is protecting billions of dollars in subsidies to the richest farmers. (via Farm bill upends normal political order)

To Arne Klempert, though, executive director of Wikimedia Germany, “It is not about the money. It is a very good example of the power of knowledge.” That may be true, but Bertelsmann won’t be making deposits of “knowledge” at the bank, will they?

If only we opened the Alaskan North Slope to exploration and gave the oil industry more incentives, our problems would be solved. Nonsense. If Congress authorized drilling on the North Slope tomorrow, it would be 10 years before that production would reach market. How would that impact prices today?

WOW. One could replace junta with George Bush here and still keep the sentence true.

The Pentagon is setting up a global network of foreign-language news websites, including an Arabic site for Iraqis, and hiring local journalists to write current events stories and other content that promote U.S. interests and counter insurgent messages.
The news sites are part of a Pentagon initiative to expand “Information Operations” on the Internet. Neither the initiative nor the Iraqi site, www.Mawtani.com, has been disclosed publicly.

We’re each paid $100,000 annually, a lot of money for very little work, so if Rupert wants to drive by and hose us down with a swift, hard piss again, just make sure the checks clear.

You can access the wood anytime without appointment – really. I don’t need to know you are on the way, or that first you have to buy your kids some pizza. I don’t need to know anything. It’s free wood get it? I’m giving it away – not looking for a relationship. If you don’t want to do some work for the free wood that’s perfectly fine with me – just go read some other ad. I don’t mind – really.
