Dan Gillmor on Grassroots Journalism, Etc. has moved his blog to a new location, but stayed right on message. Or should that be left? Letting Them Eat Cake, and Bullets. “The spectacle of George W. Bush and his friends celebrating (Reuters) his election so expensively this week is one of those revealing moments in history. “

Scripting News notes that “Thursday is Not One Damn Dime Day in the USA.” I wonder if the effect will be noticable.

Tom Yager’s weekly column at InfoWorld, timed well to land during MacWorld week, is titled “Try as I might, I can’t wreck a Mac” — a switcher endorsement, not from a blurry-eyed preteen or a a hip DJ, but from the guy who runs the testing labs at a IT publication. The best line: “I expect the iMac G5 will prove comparable to other 64-bit, zero-footprint Unix RISC desktops with integrated 20-inch LCD displays. (That’s a joke, son.)”

For those of you not in on the joke. there are no competitors.
