This is an MP3 of the superb summoning up in the movie "Judgement at Nuremberg". It's from a site called American Rhetoric. Go, listen! 

Thanks Rachel for pointing me towards Blogging Demystified. Hopefully, I'll be there, and I'll be promoting the next London Bloggers Meetup. 

A new Rapid Response has been put out by my college. I have had no acknowledgement or response for producing an RSS feed for it. The first half of this weeks Response is pretty naïve. The media are out there simply to stir things up. When you understand that, everything else falls in to place. 

Note to Americans: you may wish to pay attention to this. I'm not too worried about it, but certain conspiracy theorist types are probably fitting this in to their theories right now. Have a look at Eric W. Holland's statement though: "It's important for folks to know that the right to vote - even if those sections expire - will not expire". Folks? That's the sort of language that we're allowed to use (Winer: "We're all just folks!"), not Justice Department spokesmen... 

Ben Goldacre explains how "cocaine use in children doubles in children" actually means, once you've untangled the stats, how it's 45 more children saying they use cocaine. Spin! Spin! Spinny-winny! 

Alertbear is a Windows River of News reader for those of you who don't want to use OPML's NewsRiver. I like the combination of cute clipart and Web 2.0 sensibilities of their site! 

The BBC on third-party fixes for MSIE: "Users face a tricky choice on whether they use the patches". There's an easier choice - Firefox, Opera or another OS like OS X or Linux. 

Mike Arrington has a writeup of a Pandora/last.fm mashup. 

Yet another study shows that alternative medicine - in this case, aromatherapy - is bunk. When will you people stop paying attention to these crystal-bearing nutcases? 

Tony Snow has a good article on illegal immigration, and why immigration from Mexico to the US is not a bad thing. 

NTK has some links to MP3s of Technology 2.0. Though since there isn't an RSS feed available, it's not really a podcast. Yet another example of podcast ignorance. Wake me up when the world's stopped doing this. 

The Economist is getting a new editor: John Micklethwait. He co-wrote the book The Right Nation: Conservative Power in America, which was basically a popular history of American conservatism (see review), and The Company: A Short History of a Revolutionary Idea. I'm not sure of Micklethwait's opinions on these issues (I've read a couple of chapters of Right Nation, but have been too busy to really read it properly), but his editorship of The Economist should be interesting. 

Carlotta has a great story of home education. Homeschooling is such a good idea, we need to free it from the indoctrinating mofos in the Bible Belt. 

If any of the Christians in this country had any principles, they'd be calling for an end to the blasphemy law. Why? Because when you're not in charge, it happens to you. 

Happy Anniversary to Scripting News and Frontier.
