George Bush & the Pretty Faces
President Bush had an interesting encounter with Scott Reid. Who works for Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin.
The President chuckled. “Well, you got a pretty face,” he told the surprised Mr. Reid. He wasn't done. “You got a pretty face,” he said again. “You're a good-looking guy. Better looking than my Scott anyway.”
Another conversation with Brit Hume of Fox News.
HUME: How do you get your news?
BUSH: I get briefed by Andy Card and Condi in the morning. They come in and tell me. In all due respect, you've got a beautiful face and everything.

Where No Economist Has Gone Before
Former Reagan administration economist Paul Craig Roberts compared today's taxes "with that of a 19th century American slave." According to him many 19th century slaves came out better.
Slaves in that situation were as free as today's American taxpayer to choose their housing from the available stock, purchase their food and clothing, and entertain themselves.
In fact, they were freer than today's American taxpayer. By hard work and thrift, they could save enough to purchase their freedom.
Roberts must be getting talking points from Grover (I compare the estate tax to the holocaust) Norquist.
Call Immediately
ATTENTION: Anyone who was at the Ka'u - St. Joseph game at Ka'u last Sat. Jan. 24
We lost the game by 3 points and have filed an official protest to BIIF officials. Anyone who was at the game who did a video of the incident where the score keeper hit the buzzer "accidentally" as our boys were deep into Ka'u territory about to make goal, please call my office immediately at 935-4936. As you may know, the buzzer froze our guys, resulting in a Ka'u player gaining possession of the ball and running it all the way across the court to score. Our protest is not only about the "accidental" buzzer incident, it is also about the referees allowing the Ka'u score to stand. Mahalo for your kokua in helping us find a video of the incident if it exists.

The word "serendipity" (aka "accidental sagacity" or the art of making unexpected discoveries) was first coined 250 years ago today, on 28 January 1754.

Squarespace: New Blog Tool
I just came across a new blog tool that seems to have a lot of promise: Squarespace. It has some bugs (just released on January 6), but it provides a ton of features into a very smart architecture.
Highlights:
--"Module" concept for adding site features like journals, file storage areas, links, and discussions easily
--"Clients/ audiences" feature that allow for dynamic site personalization based on login
--"Drop box" that enables file upload/ storage by dragging a file into a browser
--Direct server file management capability
--Excellent access logs/ statistics tracking
--Virtual hosts, XML feeds, and other features we've come to expect from such tools
--Structure/ style customization
I just found this yesterday, so I haven't gotten too deep into it yet, but these people are definitely on the right track of moving from mere blog management to complete site management.

A History of The Lobotomy. "He anesthetized them with three rapid bursts of electric shock. He then drew the upper eyelid away from the eyeball, exposing the tear duct. The sharp point of the ice pick was placed in this, and then, as Freeman put it, "a light tap with a hammer is usually all that is needed to drive the point through the orbital plate". The ice pick was plunged into the brain. When it was about two inches inside, Freeman would pull the ice pick about 30 degrees backward, as far as he could without cracking the skull, and then move it up and down in another 20 degree arc, in order to cut the nerves at the base of the frontal lobes." An infamous chapter in medical history. [via Fark]

Former Sec of Treasury Paul O'Neill's statements are damning. Writer Ron Suskind has the documents to back them up.
Not only did O'Neill give Suskind his time, he gave him 19,000 internal documents.
“Everything's there: Memoranda to the President, handwritten "thank you" notes, 100-page documents. Stuff that's sensitive,” says Suskind, adding that in some cases, it included transcripts of private, high-level National Security Council meetings. “You don’t get higher than that.”

But, if one says "I can eat glass, it doesn't hurt me," you will be viewed as an insane native, and treated with dignity and respect.
