"My concern is why the nation's media were so gullible. Did they really think it was all going to be so easy, a "cakewalk," a superpower invading a Third World country? Why did the Washington press corps forgo its traditional skepticism? Why did reporters become cheerleaders for a deceptive Administration? Could it be that no one wanted to stand alone outside Washington's pack journalism?"

Though not all blogs may aspire to literary permanence, they can achieve it through the new Book-Smart software from Blurb, a publish-your-own-book service. The software, which is expected to be available free later this month at www.blurb.com, features a "Slurper" tool that automatically downloads and reformats the contents of a Web log into a book that bloggers and their admirers can purchase online.
Slurping is not all BookSmart has to offer. It simplifies the layout process by providing design templates for various kinds of books, including cookbooks, photo books, portfolios and volumes dedicated to pets and babies. The software guides users through design decisions like choosing text styles and how many photos will appear on each page.
Pricing for printed versions of your book from Blurb starts at $30 for an 8-by-10-inch full-color hardcover volume with dust jacket and up to 40 pages. A book of up to 80 pages is $3 more. (Blurb plans to eventually offer paperback editions selling for about 30 percent less than hardcover.) Authors will also be able to set up online bookstores through Blurb's Web site.
Although an early version of the software occasionally stuttered or froze, Blurb expects to have the kinks ironed out in time for its public release.
just caught the ash wednesday colber* repor* with huffington - good tv
i am trying to remember the name of a japanese movie i think is about 5 years old. the premise was that when you die, you must choose one memory from your life to accompany you to the afterlife. there was a group of recently dead who were temporarily housed in what seemed to be an old hospital or some such institution where they were assigned a counselor to help choose the memory and then film it using old makeshift props and sets, like something from community theater at best. once the memory was filmed and viewed they were able to pass on to the afterlife. this movie has stuck with me for so long but i can't remember the name of it and i'd love to see it again. anyone?
