Now Serving Trader Joe's Jasmine Green Tea

You know, Iraq doesn't bother me much. Someone once said that familiarity breeds contempt, but if something starts out with contempt it just goes stale and becomes rotten indifference.

(Speaking of rotten, how far has Whole Foods fallen? The FTC accuses them of trying to limit competition and raise prices for consumers, after John Mackey's epic failure.)

But how awful and scary must Iraq be for the people that thought it was a good idea? They must feel betrayed and disoriented. For supporters of the war, it's though the world's been pulled out from under us.

The sad part is, we'll think we've learned something. We'll act wiser, like Iraq was a growth experience. Now we know the difference between "Arab" and "Muslim," and as soon as we get out of Iraq we can lick this Global Warming business and get back to a world where things, and America, are right.

In other news, San Francisco's attempt to create municipal wi-fi is controversial in ways you might not expect. The city is working with Google and Earthlink, but instead of aggravating Comcast and AT&T, they appear to be angering...activists! Proponents of publicly-owned wi-fi have some interesting criticisms of SF's plan, which can be found in this (hilariously biased) Wikipedia article. There's a little bit of irony here.
