Howard Dean's NAN

The Dean campaign just announced an interesting program: the Net Advisory Net (stupid name) which will work with the campaign to develop opinions on internet policy, starting from a set of principles. The first topic the NAN will address is bridging the digital divide. Interestingly, not every member of the group has endorsed or supports Dean. Members of the group include Joi Ito, Hal Abelson, Lawrence Lessig, David Reed, and David Weinberger.

Things like this are why continue to support Dean, even when he does idiotic things like attack Wesley Clark.

Revisionist History

The Revision Thing: A history of the Iraq war, told entirely in lies (via Atrios).

This is an alternative narative construction of the Iraq war and its aftermath constructed entirely of quotes from the Bush administration (tenses have been changed for clarity).

What would be really cool is a web-annotated version of this article with links to the sources as footnotes.
