   Something seems to be wrong with the link. This one works.

   I don’t know where you got the idea that any rice was stolen from the Tsunami victims. The only piracy is about the music that gets downloaded. The only it can be stopped is by rewriting the code in the manner I described in a previous post. But which wouldn’t probabaly appear because it would probably not get approved. What a bloody shame. You are the pirate. Not the rice thieves that don’t exist.

   I don’t approve on the basis of content. I only disapprove if it’s spam. So, sorry if I mistook your previous post. I get a lot of comment spam so I sometimes make mistakes.

   I got the idea that rice was stolen from tsunami victims from Ethan’s post, to which I linked.

   And from the news stories and shipping advisories linked from Ethan’s post.

   There’s a real disconnect sometimes in the weblog world. I think it’s pretty funny that other webloggers are freaked out about the New York Times putting their op-eds behind a paywall. I mean, so what? The real deal–the news reporting–is still out there for all to use. If webloggers can’t write their own op-eds with all that at their disposal, what’s the point?

   I like Frank Rich, too, but people, get real!

   Go buy your own clippers, darlin’s, and D.I.Y. that Bush!
