An analysis of tsunami-related coverage in the blogsphere
An excellent report produced by Blogpulse:
An earthquake and tsunami devastated wide areas of Southern Asia on Dec. 26, 2004. As neighboring nations and relief agencies began organizing to help, so did another group of people: bloggers. Unlimited by geography and powered by easy blog-publishing tools, bloggers quickly sprang into action to provide information that was otherwise impossible or extremely difficult to find. In a remote part of the world, where traditional news crews wouldn't arrive for several days, bloggers provided some of the first eyewitness accounts, news of relief efforts, videos, still photographs, lists of victims and missing persons, and other helpful disaster aid and coordination information.

These are some links retrieved off my original blog, which was found archived. Some may not still work, and I hope to weed those out. Most are pretty good though. I also noticed that the webarchive turns these links into their links. I am not sure what that means as yet. Guess I'll find out when I try them. If they fail I will delete the post. I also notice that they are all run together, but I'm feeling lazy today, and so they will probably stay that way for a least a while. If they are already on my blog, I will try to omit it.

The Dreams of George Bush by Robert L. Borosage
The Nation
My fellow Americans, my invasion and occupation of Iraq has cost thousands of lives, wasted hundreds of billions of dollars and provided a recruiting boon to Al Qaeda across the world. It has left America more isolated and less respected than ever. The election went better than I hoped, but there's no way to get out without the country descending into civil war and no way to stay without the insurgency and our casualties growing.
"My tax cuts left the country with record deficits, the slowest jobs growth since the Great Depression and the greatest inequality since the Gilded Age. My trade policies have racked up the highest trade deficits in the annals of nations, and left us dependent on the willingness of the Chinese and Japanese governments to keep buying our bonds despite the continuing fall of the dollar.

"I used to be known as quite the conservative."
Jake To The Bone: What I've been saying.
"I used to be known as quite the conservative. I listened to lame-brained Limbaugh on a regular basis, and even listened to the re-runs on the weekends. I voted for Reagan and Bush I...twice. As a church-owned teen, and as the son of a preacher, I opposed evolution.
Thank God that somewhere, somehow along the way something in my brain -- that nagging little voice that serves as everyone's baloney detector -- clicked, and I started doing homework. Maybe it started in college in my Anthropology class. Who knows.
The main point is, I started thinking, I started suspecting I was being lied to, and I started to do the hard work of being a citizen -- homework...with the TV sound turned down. " MORE

UNC-Chapel Hill creates Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity
names former Sen. John Edwards as director
(via Ed and Zhoodah)
CHAPEL HILL -- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is launching a Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity that will be led by former U.S. Senator and vice presidential candidate John Edwards.
The Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity will be a nonpartisan initiative, bringing together UNC-Chapel Hill faculty and other national public policy experts to examine innovative and practical ideas for moving more Americans out of poverty and into the middle class. The center will have an advisory committee of senior faculty representing multiple disciplines across campus. In addition to leading the center, Edwards also will serve as a guest lecturer on campus.
"John Edwards is a distinguished Carolina alumnus, and we are delighted that he will return to campus to bring together today’s best minds to focus on issues that affect us all," Chancellor James Moeser said.

The Propaganda President - George W. Bush does his best Kim Jong-il.
By Jack Shafer
If "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il of North Korea and George W. Bush ever meet, I suspect the two will bond like long-lost brothers. Both men are first-born sons of powerful fathers who partied like adolescents well into their adult lives, after which they submitted to their dynastic fates as heads of state.
Both avoid critical thought, preferring to surround themselves with yes men and apply propagandistic slogans to the onrushing complexities of justice, culture, economics, and foreign policy. Bush churns out buzz phrases with the best of them: He believes in "compassionate conservatism" and fancies himself part of the "army of compassion." He's the "reformer with results" who embraces the "culture of life." He shouts his paeans to "liberty" and "freedom" (a combined 27 times during last night's State of the Union speech, according to today's Washington Post) while reducing civil liberties at home.

Adolescent General loves to play shoot-em-up
Sick General
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A senior U.S. Marine Corps general who said it was "fun to shoot some people" should have chosen his words more carefully but will not be disciplined, military officials said on Thursday.
Lt. Gen. James Mattis, who commanded troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and is slated to be portrayed by star actor Harrison Ford in an upcoming Hollywood movie, made the comments at a conference on Tuesday in San Diego, California.
"Actually it's quite fun to fight 'em, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up front with you, I like brawling," Mattis said.
"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis said during a panel discussion. "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."
Kids!

Antarctic ice sheet is an 'awakened giant'
New Scientist Breaking News - Antarctic ice sheet is an 'awakened giant'
From the scientific point of view it is now very likely that there will be again another Ice Age, quite soon, in the world, that we shall have the north part of the world all frozen like it used to be, and we're beginning to have natural disasters, from the scientists' study it seems likely that we should soon begin to have these great changes in the earth's climate so people will not be able to live where they have, and the oceans will rise, and many cities will be flooded, like London, and Calcutta, and so on. These things, they say, will happen, according to scientific theory, in about forty years at the most, but maybe even quicker. - J.G. Bennett as heard on Robert Fripp's "Exposure" album, circa 1979.

The Independent Weekly: Winners, quitters and bloggers
Triangle bloggercon and more
Building community--both online and offline--is the theme of the conference. Zuiker hopes the Triangle will develop the kind of community that's been going strong in the Greensboro area.
The conference is free and open to the public. It starts at 9 a.m. and officially ends at 12:30 p.m., though conversations are sure to follow at Franklin Street eateries. Special guest Dan Gillmor, a blogger from the Bay Area who's become an evangelist for grassroots journalism, will also give a free public presentation on Monday, Feb. 14, at 3:30 p.m. in Carroll Hall at UNC-CH.
Patrick Eakes reminds me that the legend himself, Mr. Dave Winer of DaveNet, Scripting News, and Harvard Shorenstein, is also slated to attend.
A splendid time is guaranteed for all...

Social Security Stolen: Bush raids Lockbox then complains of shortfall
Kids. This never would have happened under a Gore Presidency
You never heard the word, Lockbox. Instead you heard Bush warning that there will be a shortfall. Well, duh! Why don’t you just put the money back, Doofus, and tell the top 1% to “do it for the kids”.
Should Bush back off on the tax cut to the top 1% which has led to the shortfall in the Social Security, and which would have been protected under a Gore administration, and, so to say, “do it for the kids”? Take the poll.

Iraq Election: The Day After
Now that the Iraqis have had the opportunity to stain their finger, the world can rest assured that all is well, everyone can go home now. Freedom and Democracy has arrived. Mission accomplished. Lapis is the new vermillion. But was it lapis? Maybe my colors have been adjusted. My horizontal. My verticle. (O how I do love to misspell that word!)
So see ya later, Iraq! We'll be leaving now! Thanks for all the good times!
Ingrate bastards! And after all we have done to, I mean, for, them. Sheesh!
And so the saga continues. Will George be able to move the soldiers from Iraq and into Iran and Syria without people getting all huffy and squishy?
Wait and see!
FREEDOM
Coming to a theater near you!
