Unqualified Offerings

This is demi-cool. You can sign the Declaration of Independence over the internet via the National Archives Website. (Link via Greeble blog.)
What would make it more than demi-cool?
1) If you could use your own handwriting, as opposed to the three style options they give you.
2) You get to print a copy of the Declaration with [...]

Reading this interesting Hartford Courant article on Amerithrax non-suspect-oh-perish-the-thought-we-just-sometimes-like-to-cart-truckloads-of-evidence-from-people’s-homes Steven J. Hatfill makes Unqualified Offerings realize that the distinction between the “domestic” and “imported” scenarios may not be so neat:

Hatfill later became a member of UNSCOM, the United Nations-sponsored group that went into Iraq after the gulf war to look for that country’s biological weapons [...]

When Libertarian Samizdata added a “Havens of Flourescent Idiocy” section to their links list, I thought it was a little over the top. Reading Blowback on the internet-radio royalty decision, I have to reconsider:

Where do all those smug, self-satisfied techno-libertarian weasels stand on this? This issue illustrates the vacuousness, and the subservience to the whims [...]

Daddy Warblogs unearths an appalling NRO article by Larry Kudlow. The Daddy accuses Kudlow of advocating an invasion of Iraq purely for the sake of US business interests. Why does he draw this stale, tired paranoid conclusion? Because Kudlow comes right out and says so.
Now and then someone talks about whether pro-war libertarians should take [...]

Unqualified Offerings is tired, Egypt, tired. Therefore it planneth not to write any major pieces tonight after all. Just a few bits here and there. Meantime, Ginger Stampley says the problem with the Reynolds Plan for keeping the War on Terrorism from dragging on by taking out Iraq and Saudi Arabia right away is that [...]

Unqualified Offerings generally avoids presidential speeches, devoting that time to more productive pursuits. But out of a sense of duty, it has read Bush’s Middle East speech of the other day. This site has all kinds of thoughts, but the first one is this: remember how The Talking Dog cheekily suggested making Israel the 52nd [...]

Virginia Postrel has a long, fascinating item about superheroes, terrorism, and the necessary violent fantasies of little kids. Check out “Killing Monsters.”
UPDATE: Fixed a bad link, thanks to a head’s up from Michael Croft.
