{@A Pox on PYX} is my account of the shut down of the "Wakin' up with the Wolf" morning drive talk show. If you've read this already, there's an update. Check it again.

Molly Ivans at San Jose Mercury News - How do you spell Vietnam? 'Colombia': Congress has decided to give $1.6 billion to Colombia in military aid. "We are all under the happy illusion that the money we're sending to Colombia will be used to combat drug traffickers. Actually, there's every likelihood that some of it will go to drug traffickers."

A new article in The Libertarian series by Vin Suprynowicz:

  • {@Mass Transit: Hear the lonesome trolley bell} - in which the Surface Transportation Policy Project whines that Arizona spent "most of its [federal] highway funds on - brace yourself, now - highways."

Carl Campanile at the NY Post - NYPD's Truant Policy a Crass Act: Critics: Herr Rudy's gestapo is now arresting students who arrive late at school. [market]

Jon E. Dougherty at WorldNetDaily - Sixth grader targeted for pro-gun remarks: a 12-year-old in Holland, Michigan, suggested the one real way to protect our school kids from violence, and got himself flagged as a violence risk because of it. [market]

Joel Spolsky at Joel on Software - Painless Software Schedules: Good advice from a former member of the Excel team on using Excel (not Project) to track software schedules. Joel highly recommends the book Peopleware by Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister. I ordered it. Also put Joel's site in the weblogs section of my links page. [script]
