Fourth of July

Daily Sucker for Tuesday, July 4, 2006 Submitter's comments: Why isn't the annual 4th of July celebration announced/on the front page? Why did I have to spend 5 minutes digging for this page?

A picture named cabinetBowler.jpgRichard MacManus says BloggerCon IV tended to favor the most vocal people. I agree, and this is not the way it's supposed to be. I don't think the DLs took the guidelines seriously in this area, and unless they do, the unconference format suffers. They're supposed to seek out people, to interrupt repeating and droning. The guidelines don't say the DLs "may" interrupt, they say "must."

At dinner last night a friend said the Wikipedia page about me is pretty horrible. As I've said before, I never read it, but I suspected as much. Every page I read that I know something about is controlled by a negative point of view that tends to promote certain things and be prejduiced against others. It's relatively consistent. And these are the technical subjects that Wikipedia is supposed to be accurate about. However, I think it will eventually take care of itself, as it expands to cover subjects and people more people know about, they'll see it for what it is, a place where the most persistent people with the most time to waste control what is said.

A picture named myCountryTisOfThee.jpgI understand that the makers of the new Superman movie have changed his slogan to Truth, Justice, and all that stuff. Pretty lame, don't you think. Sounds like a song from the movie Chicago. Couldn't they have at least made the new ending rhyme with The American Way? Or made a new slogan for every culture, which leads me to the Jewish version which surely would have been, Truth, Justice and Oy Vey! Heh. Sorry. Anyway, with that in mind, happy birthday USA, you're still the country of mine, even if Superman is too politically lame to stay on board.
