BLOG UPDATES

I have updated my other blogs, Martin Lindeskog's Weblog and Lukeion. You could read a post about my strength training. The other post is about an article published in a Swedish newspaper discussing G.W. Bush's patriotism.

CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM

Read about Johnny Chung's illegal contributions to John Kerry's campaign in 1996, in Michael Isikoff's article, Cash and Kerry.

Go to NoLobby.com - "the rational solution to campaign finance reform."

Lyndon LaRouche must have some other sources than his Amazon contributions... [Via InstaPundit.]

ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE

I have noticed that my toolbar (powered by Google) has blocked popup ads on my blog. I wondered some time about the source and came up with the conclusion that it could be Bravenet. I sent them an email and got this reply:

"We do have popup advertisements on the majority of our service, but they are on every so many clicks, so your visitors won't be bombarded with them all at once."

I understand that a company like Bravenet must use different kinds of advertisement in order to provide the huge range of free webtools, but I am not so sure about the effectiveness of the pop-ups in the long run. I want to keep my guestmap, FAQ, poll, et.c., so I hope you don't mind a commercial break now and then. If you think that the pop-ups are annoying, please get a pop-up blocker. Don't hesitate to send me a email about this issue, or add a comment to this post.

UPDATE: DECK OF CARDS

In the news: Iraqi Earns $1 Million for Tip Leading to Insurgent's Capture.

No card available - (#54) Khamis Sirhan al-Muhammad. Captured on January 11.

Maybe the Politburo Diktat's "DemCom Deck of Cards for Operation Bloggi Freedom" will end up at the British Museum in London?

TIME FOR A CUBAN CIGAR?

I have said to myself that I will smoke a cigar from Havana on the day of Castro's death. Do you think the time is ready?

"WARDROBE MALFUNCTION"

I wonder if Janet Jackson attended the "wrong" football game? Do you think she would get her body "busted" at the Lingerie Bowl? I have to admit that I agree with Howard Dean on this incident and say it is "silly." Read Skip Oliva's post, Can the FCC Protect us from Janet Jackson?

In the news: Why we should root for the Patriots.

How about buying an electronic gift certificate @ the New England Patriots online store?

UPDATE 02/03/04: AOL May Ask for Money Back After Halftime Debacle.
I agree with Glenn Reynolds' observation of Janet Jackson's appearance. I hope that the TiVo users soon get tired of hitting the replay button, and start to look out for real beauty instead.
