14837 [lbo-talk] Cringely defends print -- rank: 1000
<http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20060720.html> They Wrap Fish, Don't They?: Internet News Isn't What It's All Wrapped Up to Be By Robert X. Cringely I have been writing for the World Wide Web since April 1997, which is about as long as anyone on continuous duty can claim.

We don't like Israeli state/military policy? Israel should withdraw to the pre-67 borders? We don't like religiously defined states? We all want to push Israel into the sea? Israelis are icky? And since, as an American, I help pay Israel's war bills, should I be anti-American too? If so, how? Should I emigrate? Take ...

14847 [lbo-talk] Rapture update: 2m due to die -- rank: 1000
So George Scialabba forwarded the Rapture quotes to Danny Postel's list, where Ken Silverstein picked it up. I realize the net has changed everything, but still it's always nice, when forwarding things, to credit sources. The incident inspired me to take a look at the Rapture Ready site. Holy Christ, to coin a phrase. Since when did war and mass death become a Christian value? Yeah, I know the answer to that, but JC himself would not have approved.
