Beltway Traffic Jam

James Joyner | Tuesday, March 30, 2004

Still telecommuting, although I did make a sojourn into the office today.

The Tuesday linkage:

• David Pinto blogs Opening Day.

• Armed Liberal thinks electronic voting is stupid.
• Kevin Aylward chronicles Britney Spears and bikini clad simulated porn.
• Apparently, the Letter of the Day is “J.”
• Steve Bainbridge believes anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable bastion of bigotry.
• Julian Sanchez demonstrates that the service economy makes us happy.
• Stephen Green notes that negative ads work.
• Michael J. Totten has a new article in TCS.
• Dean Esmay wants to privatize Mars.
• Bill Quick reports that pink is now a gang color. No wonder they get into so many fights.
• Steven Taylor hates comment spam.

Beltway Traffic Jam

James Joyner | Monday, March 29, 2004

I’m telecommuting today, since I get far more work done with access to a computer than without. Plus, there’s surprisingly less traffic in my home office than along Route 7.

Still, the linkfest must go on:

• Laurence Simon makes some serious charges against Glenn Reynolds.

• Dodd Harris reflects on NFL rule changes–or the lack thereof.
• Will Baude offers glowing and dismissive assessments of Richard Posner in successive posts.
• John Cole has discovered media bias.
• Dave Wissig is curious why CNN is burying its own poll numbers.
• Juliette and Frank J play the race card.
• Venomous Kate has brought back the Letter of the Day. Sort of.
• Terry Oglesby discusses the expansion of the Axis of Weevil.

I was able to get out of the office before the traffic hit, but it’s still an hour drive–for a trip that’s only 23 miles!–even under decent conditions from DISA from home.

The Friday linkfest:

• The Official Blog Chronicle of Celebrity Porn has been banned by PayPal as an adult site.

• Mark Hasty is upset that he failed to list an album I’ve never heard from a band I’ve never heard of among his favorites.
• Kate McMillan reports on nurses suing over SARS.
• Venomous Kate has a good post on rape shield laws.
• Stephen Green’s Friday recipe is a friggin’ salad with no booze.

Network access didn’t materialize, so the Traffic Jam is a bit late. As to the real-life traffic jam, I was fortunately able to escape the worst of it but, unfortunately, there’s no good way get from Ashburn to Bailey’s Crossroads unless you’re in a carpool, a motorbike, or a wind-up car.

The linkfest:

• King of Fools reports the discovery of Troy. Big deal–Steven Taylor and I found it in 1998.

• Steven has also found lots of Clarke linkage and rounded it all up.
• goldie is amused by her Blogarama entry.
• Laurence Simon wants your mug.
• Stephen Green has a headline I never thought I’d see. Actually, two.

Beltway Traffic Jam

James Joyner | Wednesday, March 24, 2004

The last of the OTB traffic jams written outside the Beltway for awhile. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be commuting to Bailey’s Crossroads and the Defense Information Services Agency (DISA). I’m still employed by the same contractor but on a new contract and will start drawing something approaching a living wage again. All stemming, incidentally, from my post a month ago that I was job hunting.

On with the linkage:

• Steven Taylor provides a terrorism timeline. It starts before January 2001.

• Megan McArdle is going to be on teevee Friday morning.
• Smash reports that the French defused a bomb rather than surrendering to it.
• Jay and Deb, merged in real life, have now done the same to their blogs.
• Jen is too lazy to make coffee. Personally, I’m lazy unless I make coffee.
• Mark Hasty has a recipe for jambalaya, Wisconsin style.
