Who’s Better over at Feed is hilarious. It pits Christie Whitman (EPA administrator; takes flak for Bush) against The Lorax (Seuss character; speaks for the trees). Hardly a fair fight!

John Phillips of Mamas And Papas Dead at 65
John Phillips of Mamas And Papas Dead at 65.
I can’t remember not knowing the Mamas and the Papas music, and although the band hasn’t retained the same cachet as VU or Dylan some of the others of that era, they were still a giant group. John Phillips contribution in particular was huge – from great songs to his spearheading the Monterey Pop and bringing Jimi Hendrix back to the US.
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I’ve been for a walk on a winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin’ on such a winter’s dayStopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher liked the cold
He knows I’m gonna stay
California dreamin’ on such a winter’s day
Funny thing is
, someone sang a song very similar to Where have all the dot-coms gone today on DNTO. Except it wasn’t as good as Heather’s – it went, “where have all the tech stocks gone, blah blah blah…”
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to one and all. Montreal’s 177th annual St. Patrick’s Day parade goes tomorrow.
Sometimes one comes across
the most interesting things late at night when one has no business doing so. So here I am, sitting at my computer post-bar, pre-bedtime, reading some nice personal websites. And I follow the link that Jason Kottke has put up to his earliest “daily website” or weblog entry from three years ago. And I find that but days after he started, he made a very pithy comment about the state of the web at that time – and if anything it’s even worse now (if hypertext = better and pseudo-hypertext = worse). I among hundreds of others have made the same comment, both before and after he did. But one of the nice things about the weblog format is that you can date a comment and fix it in time – something that’s hard to do in with quite the same certainty as in a weblog.
