History according to w

Both Tim Dunlop and Atrios point to this article (click through the free pass) where Joe Conason talks about w’s apparent confusion about Iraq inspections:

The president was fantasizing again this afternoon about the circumstances that led to war — and if his remarks at his press conference with the Polish president are to be taken seriously, he also seems badly confused about his Iraqi timeline.

Surely no one who has listened to bush for the last 3 years is surprised when he says stuff like this. He might even really believe he is telling the truth….

The Changing Job Market

If you are interested in issues related to jobs moving out of the US go check out this Daniel Drezner post. Lot’s of links to more posts and related info plus good stuff in the comment thread.
Drezner appears to believe that this is not as big an issue as many are making it out to be. Make up your own mind.
Oh, and check out The Acorn’s discussion of this Wired article. You will find a wealth of additional commentary on outsourcing and India here as well.

Watching Modulator’s Navel

Modulator’s 20,000th visitor arrived today (per Sitemeter). Regular readers will remember that number 10,000 arrived on October 31, 2003.
The first 10,000 took 179 days and the 2nd 10,000 only 88 days. I like that doubling rate but would be pleasantly shocked to see the next doubling (to 40,000 visitors) occur in 88 days but I do want to see happen faster then the first 20K.
Oh, and visitor 20,000 was a referral from SashaCastel.com. I don’t know whether it was Sasha herself, another member of her group or some other wandering reader. Anyway, thanks for stopping by.
And, thank you to everyone else who has taken the time to visit.
