John C. Dvorak is a big name in technology analysis. I remember reading his columns in PC Magazine (he had two every issue) and watching him on CNET (the television show, not the website) before I even had a computer. So it's especially pleasing that Dvorak links to Techdirt and Public Citizen in a post about Dozier Internet law.

Read Dvorak's article.

Web discussion about Dozier Internet Law is very broad: from the erudite, to the elementary, from the case study, to the threatened blogger, everyone is talking about Dozier.

Why aren't you?

"The Book Is Flatulent: A Brief Review of Thomas L. Friedman's "The World Is Flat" Op-Ed," by Thomas Barnett, The Newsletter from Thomas P.M. Barnett, 20 June 2005, http://www.newrulesets.com/journals/barnett_20jun2005.pdf.

"Friedman’s excellent capture on why Iraq still matters--and still must be won," by Thomas Barnett, Thomas P.M. Barnett :: Weblog, 26 May 2006, http://www.thomaspmbarnett.com/weblog/archives2/003299.html.

After Tom Barnett's scortched earth review of Tom Friedman's The World is Flat, I was defensive. I had enjoyed the book, and expected Barnett (whose work is obviously influenced by Friedman's) to pen a positive review. Reading World was a wonderful vacation, and Tom Friedman and Tom Barnett are the two authors I advice my international relations students to read.

The most important news in the world today, of course, is Michelle Malkin's new photo. Compare the newest version:

with the old



An improvement, neh?

But an improvement over the original version?



A question best left to the ages.

Of course, "Thoughtful Malkin"



and "Earnest Malkin"



aren't bad either.

The point of this post -- of the fact that the conservative movement has beautiful female pundits? Merely that reasonable suspicion of governmental power isn't the exclusive domain of the old, the rich, and the white -- and the duped. It's a tired liberal canard, true. But one that should still be exposed.

Update: Among many Republicans, FDR is despised for prolonging the depression and incarcerating many Japanese. Michelle is one of the few right-wingers who will defend FDR on the latter point. Wes Roth and Right Wing News point to this interview where she further defends ol' Delano.

Update 2: Michelle blogs on her new photo and "polite and not so polite feedback." What does this count as? Also, I'm in love with Michelle Malkin.

Update 3: Stolen Thunder notes that Michelle's new photo is much more youthful than the old. And also suggests a modeling career. I agree!
