Remember, remember 11 September; Murderous monsters in flight; Reject their dark game; And let Liberty's flame; Burn prouder and ever more bright
- Geoffrey Barto

"Bjørn Stærks hyklerske dobbeltmoral er til å spy av. Under det syltynne fernisset av redelighet sitter han klar med en vulkan av diagnoser han kan klistre på annerledes tenkende mennesker når han etter beste evne har spilt sine kort. Jeg tror han har forregnet seg. Det blir ikke noe hyggelig under sharia selv om han har slikket de nye herskernes støvlesnuter."

En bloggoppsummering: På tide med en ny kikk på hva norske bloggere skriver om for tiden. [...]

Vær varsom med varsom-plakater: Noen i medie-Norge eksperimenterer med å slippe leserne inn, andre leter etter måter å stenge dem ute på. I sitt nye utkast til Vær Varsom-plakaten er Norsk Presseforbund harm ovenfor ellers anstendige aviser som på nettet har "overlatt en del [...]

In reluctant defense of e-books: I'm beginning to warm up to the idea of reading books digitally. I've always liked books on paper. I like to hold them, and own them, and mark them with dog-ears and whatever you call those lines that form when [...]

The Gulag distraction: It was dumb of Amnesty to compare Guantanamo to the Gulag. Dumb in the way it was dumb of Bush to call the war on terror a crusade. In a friendly interpretation, both metaphors clumsily summarize more intelligent ideas, but [...]

So explain to me: Why would the CIA kidnap an imam suspected of al-Qaeda connections .. and then send him to Egypt? Unless it's to have him tortured, I mean.

Showing his dark side, Carl I Hagen is whining about the "socially destructive" focus on gays during this week's EuroPride festival in Oslo. My views here, though I'll add that after hearing his bumbling defense on the radio today, I don't think this was a calculated grab for conservative Christian voters, nor likely to become party policy.

Some people have a curious idea of what flaming is. Is: Swearing, threats, raw unfiltered anger. Isn't: Calling someone impolite, and refusing to wish them a good day.

Atle Kvalvik goes after the generation of aging "68'ers", in Klassekampen. He could have been more specific about who he's talking about, though. A generation is a vague target. Btw, the world is upside-down when Klassekampen is a forum for interesting debates.

If you live by the Norwegian coast, make sure to be on the watch for Stephen Løken, a friend who's paddling from Lindesnes to Nordkapp - the southern and northern ends of Norway. There's a travel diary and a map of where he is and which route he's taking.
