Tom Tomorrow calls him “Bully Bill”

Tom Tomorrow calls him “Bully Bill”

but Bill O’Reilly just comes across like an idiot in this exchange with Jeremy Glick the other night. Glick, it seems, lost his father on 9/11/2001 but nevertheless is against the war in Iraq. Poor Bill just ends up sputtering, asking to “cut his mic” at the end. Pathetic.

I awoke this morning to the sad news

that local Jazz great Charlie Biddle died last night at his home in NDG after a battle with cancer. I was lucky to meet him a couple of times, and see him often both around town and at his club. He’s truly going to be missed.

Embrace file-sharing, or die:

so writes John and Ben Snyder in a paper of the same name submitted to NARAS the other day. John Snyder is the president of a record label and a board member of NARAS, the National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences. They’re the ones who bring you the Grammy awards among other things.

At the end of last week Canada’s Privacy Commissioner

February 3, 2003 by Michael Boyle

At the end of last week Canada’s Privacy Commissioner

released his Annual Report to Parliament. Check out the News Release, in which the report is quoted: “The Government is, quite simply, using September 11 as an excuse for new collections and uses of personal information about all of us Canadians that cannot be justified by the requirements of anti-terrorism and that, indeed, have no place in a free and democratic society.” Pretty scathing stuff. [via La grande rousse, aka Dolores]
