In response to our call for names for the invasion of Iraq, Joe Mahoney writes:

I don’t really like Operation Oedipus. Oedipus is a patricide, not an avenger. Even in Freud’s appropriation, Oedipus is all about dissolution of the patriarchal order (or something like that). I’d vote for Operation Orestes.

I’m less enamored with Operation Oedipus than I was. I’d prefer something like Operation Oedipal Blindness or maybe Operation Oedipal Apocalypse.

Norm Jensen meanwhile suggests Operation Blatant Hypocrisy.

Oliver Travers points us to Fred Langa‘s column at InformationWeek about the new Microsoft EULA. Fred’s reading of the EULA is less paranoid and alarming than the Registers’ that I cited.
