12/18/2003 10:31 AMInteresting piece about a Dallas coffee-hut that added free WiFi and
now finds itself playing host to a slew of Cheers-like regulars,
freelance workers who hang out and use the shop as their office.
``You get all the colds ... you have to be able to work through loud
noise, you have to be able to focus and tune out even more so than in
an office,'' he said. ``Babies are one of the biggest hazards. The
screaming child at the table next to you ... you don't get that at
work.''
As a person who spends hours each day at a coffeehouse, Smith is
always mindful of the fact that he is in someone else's place of
business. He doesn't go behind the counter to help himself to a
refill, even though he knows where everything is as well as any
employee, and he always dresses nicely as if he were going into the
office -- albeit a casual one.

alternative is likely to go and, next week, at the hardware both
groups can expect to have available to run their software. The last of
the series will look at the impact these changes are likely to have on

Amateur digital photographer R. Todd King has posted a set of
startlingly gorgeous photos of the snow and ice festival in Harbin,
China.
"The temperature in Harbin reaches forty below zero, both
farenheit and centigrade, and stays below freezing nearly half the
year. The city is actually further north than notoriously cold
Vladivostok, Russia, just 300 miles away. So what does one do here
every winter? Hold an outdoor festival, of course! Rather than
suffer the cold, the residents of Harbin celebrate it, with an annual
festival of snow and ice sculptures and competitions. The festival
officially runs from January 5 through February 15, but often opens a
week early and runs into March, since it's usually still cold enough.
This is the amazing sculpture made of snow greeting visitors to the
snow festival in 2003." Link

This turns into one of those cases where researching a story gets
weirder. The documentary
Supe
r Size Me centers on a documentary filmmaker's 30 day experience
eating nothing but McDonalds. The film is doing
amazingly well
as a limited release documentary grossing more per screen than
high-budget Troy. Here is the weird part, Reuters has
picked up on a distributor
press release claiming that MTV is refusing to air advertising for
Super Size Me because the film is "disparaging to
fast-food restaurants". The Reuters short seems to have quite a
bit of legs. However a Hollywood Reporter
article details MTVs side of the story placing
the blame on the film's distributor. Is this really a case of a
network getting cold feet? Or is it a case of distributor trying to
pull the "too edgy for MTV" moneymaking ploy? And what is
with the continually morphing Reuters clip that is just now being
tossed onto doorsteps and stuffed into newsboxes across North America?

O'Reilly and the Cold War
O'Reilly and the Cold War
12/19/2004 03:40 PMThanks for the amazingly thoughtful and interesting comments on the
O'Reilly show. I want to answer one questions about that because
several people raised it: Why would any sensible person agree to be a
guest on that show? Truth be told, I've always in the past declined to
be on the Factor and other shows like it. I agreed this time because
the issue "Is dissent disloyal?" is important, I've thought a lot
about it, and I thought I might be able to contribute something
useful. And I would have, had he not changed the issue! But, since the
main thrust of my guest stint on this blog is learning lessons from
past mistakes, I won't do it again! (The reason, by the way, is not
because it's unpleasant, but because no one should allow himself to be
used by a demagogue.)
Speaking of which, let's return to our history. We left off with the
Japanese internment. As several comments noted, the Supreme Court in
1944 upheld the internment in the case of Korematsu v. United States.
In effect, the Court held that, in wartime, we all have to make
sacrifices, and it couldn't say that the decision to internment these
people was not a rational military decision at the time it was made.
Korematsu has gone down as one of the most profoundly embarrassing
decisions in the history of the Supreme Court, and the nation has in
many ways confessed the unconstitutionality of the internment in the
sixty years since the decision. (As an interesting aside, by the way,
I sumbitted a friend of the Court brief on behalf of Fred Korematsu
--he is still alive and flourishing -- in the Guanatamo Bay, Hamdi,
and Padilla cases in the Supreme Court last spring.)
At the end of World War II, Americans were optimistic. We had the
strongest military in the world, we had just won a "great" war and we
had clearly been on the side of the angels. The world was at peace.
Within a short time, however, everything changed. Although the Soviet
Union had been our ally during the war, relations collapsed beween the
U.S. and the Soviet Union as the need for that alliance disappeared.
Within a stunningly short period of time, the American economy took a
nosedive, there were revelations of Soviet espionage, the Soviet Union
exploded its first atomic bomb, China fell to the Communists,
Americans began to build bomb shelters as they prepared by nuclear
bombs to rain down upon our cities, and the Korean War burst upon the
scene.
Who was to blame? How did the Soviets get the bomb? Why had China
fallen to the Communists? A group of anti-New Deal Republicans and
conservative Southern Democrats had the answer -- it was American
Communists who had sold us out and were working to further the Soviet
cause. Men like Richard Nixon in California and Joseph McCarthy in
Wisconsin began to play the Red Card in order to get elected, and they
did. In the 1946 elections, the Republicans, who now portrayed the
choice as one between Communism and Republicanism, picked up 54 seats
in the House. After being out of power for 16 long years, the
Republicans had found a strategy that could propel them back into
power.
Democrats, who were overwhelmed by the growing anti-Communist
hysteria, jumped on the bandwagon, afraid to resist. Within a few
short years the United States had a new federal loyalty program for
over four million government employees, the House Un-American
Activities Committee investigated thousands of individuals to
determine if they were secret Communists, state and federal
governments adopted their own loyalty programs, investigations,
blacklists, and anti-Communist laws. Tens of thousands of people were
threatened, intimidated, fired, humiliated, and even prosecuted.
Who were these people? Were they spies and sabotuers? No doubt, there
were Soviet agents in the United States. But they were almost never
the target of these actions. They were too well-hidden for that.
Rather, these actions were cynical efforts to make political hay by
taking advantage of, and exacerbating, the fear that was already upon
the land. So, who were these people?
After the Depression, many Americans began to search for answers to
what had happened to the nation. Many toyed with communism. At this
time, the Communist Part of the United States was a lawful political
party that ran candidates for public office throughout the nation. It
stood for such causes as women's rights, the rights of labor, and
public housing; it opposed the rise of fascism in Europe and racism at
home. As many as 250,000 Americans joined the CPUSA in this period.
Moreover, many millions more participated in CPUSA events or joined
other organization that shared some of the goals and programs of the
CPUSA. During World War II, we fought side-by-side with the Soviet
Union, and FDR encouraged Americans to see the Soviets as our allies
and friends.
After the war, though, all this fell apart. And suddenly the most
dangerous question in America was: "Are you now or have you ever been
a member of the Communist Party or a member of any organization that
is or was affiliated with the Commnist Party or have you ever attended
an event sponored by the Communist Party, or signed a Communist Party
petition, or attended a Communist Party rally, or read a Communist
book?" An affirmative answer to any of these questions would
immediately cast doubt on the patriotism and loyalty of the
individual. After all, how do we know you're not still a Commie who is
secretly working to subvert the government of the United States.
This was the heart of McCarthyism.
