James Joyner | Friday, April 30, 2004

The real life traffic jam starts early in the Beltway on Fridays; the roads are packed by 2:30 or so. Oddly, the digital traffic seems to taper off somewhat around the same time and stay that way until Sunday evening.

Phil Libin suggests that we turn Iraqi sovereignty over to Glenn Reynolds.
Terry Oglesby points to a sign of the apocalypse.
Mark Cuban offers some reflections on losing in the playoffs, an all-too-familiar feeling.
Steven Taylor shares his thoughts on a Howard Dean television show.
Jon Henke reports that Hispanics are under-represented in our Iraq war dead.
Andrew Cline reflects on what his 20-year-old self would think of him now.
Smash dons a tie that will live in infamy. He’s taking bids for burning rights.

Somehow I seem to come up with my weightier posts on Friday afternoons, which means that 1 person may see it. *sigh*

Beltway Traffic Jam

James Joyner | Friday, April 23, 2004

The last linkfest of the week:

Venomous Kate notes that she is female. I, of course, didn’t notice because that would be wrong.
The sexist pig Kevin Aylward is offering to sell photographs exploiting some poor person forced by the patriarchy to advertise herself as “Hot Abercrombie Chick.”
Joe Katzman continues to perpetuate the stereotype that only males are knowledgable about war.
Kevin Drum gives unwarranted publicity to Larry Flynt, who forces persons of gender to appear nude in magazines for money.
Barry Ritholtz notes that all Bull markets aren’t alike. He doesn’t explain why we don’t alternate between Bull and Cow to be avoid the incorrect impression that only males of the bovine species understand finances.
Rosemary Esmay has been reduced to offering photographs of her “rack” for $10. And some man-person named “Jim” gets the money.

Bulls have horns which can gore; Bears have teeth and claws. Both can kill. Hence, the graphic imagery depicting the fierce battle between supply and demand, between mighty Bull and ferocious Bear in the jugles of Wall Street..

Cows . . . Cows . . . Well, Cows stand around the field, chewing their cud, waiting to be either milked or slaughtered.

Hardly a suitable iconagraphy for the stock markets.

Oooh, I'm going to go out on a limb here - I thought the point was that bulls charge forward and bears hibernate?

Posted by Teri | April 23, 2004 | 08:43 pm | Permalink

I've heard it said that the Bulls goring motion is a move ups -- lowered head thrusted upwards towards its target -- while a Bear strikes downwards -- picture a grizzly, reared up on his hind legs, swiping downwards with claws . . .

Beltway Traffic Jam

James Joyner | Thursday, April 22, 2004

Sorry for the light posting today. Work-like activities intervened. This will likely be the last post of the day as well, as actual life-like activities are scheduled for this evening.

The extra-long Thursday linkfest should help you cope with blog withdrawal symptoms:

Steven Taylor examines the substance of Kerry criticisms of the Bush Iraq policy.
Kevin Aylward warns against bargain shopping.
Frank J is now writing jokes in code.
Ogged explains why NBA halftimes are more fun than the games.
Matt Yglesias catches Hillary in a gross violation of the use/mention distinction.
Stephen Green links news of a smaller Navy.
David Pinto reports that Andres Gallaraga’s cancer has returned. I hope the Big Cat recovers again.
Jeff Jarvis blogs Don Rumsfeld.
Steve Verdon has a thorough post on the overtime pay issue.
Will Baude contemplates the reverse Tinkerbell effect.
Dan Drezner is going to be on NBC Nightly News tomorrow. [TiVo it and fast-forward past the non-Dan segments. -ed.]
Bill Hobbs explains why newspapers no longer appeal to young people.
Everyone else seems to be linking this Ace of Spades post, so I will too.
Jon Henke compares the Bush and Kerry “guts” records.
Kate’s collecting snarkage.
The moonbats are out at Smash’s place.

I had some after-work errands to run that took longer than expected.

Juliette has the answers.
Graham Lester reports that it’s against the law to feed the homeless in Tampa.

Ah. I see you got Michele today, too. Must be a twofer.

Speaking for myself: No, thanks.

You must be confusing your fantasies with reality, James. Perhaps reading before linking would come in handy?

Not only did I say that I won't show my boobs, I never said anything about drawing a logo, either.

James Joyner | Thursday, April 15, 2004

Much lighter traffic this morning, for whatever reason. Clearly, even light rain or–oddly–bright sun cause significant traffic delays around here. Everywhere else, people just turn on their windshield wipers or put on their sunglasses and drive. . . .

Donny Hall hopes we don’t Jimmy Carter our most recent deserters.
Michele Catalano is off her meds and off politics for a while.
Bryan S.’s site still sucks without the politics but he’s changed titles again.
McQ has some thoughts on the Fallujah Super Bowl.
Don Sensing confirms the old nostrim Military justice is to justice what military music is to music.
Julian Sanchez reports on the latest candidate for president.
Jen talks about what to get Rummy for Secretary’s Day.
Brett Marston has some thoughts on crackpot theories.
Andrew Chamberlain notes that regulation is boring.
