One of the big cookie-cutter trends in recent Republican governance at the state level has been the imposition of photo ID requirements for voting, rationalized by entirely unsubstantiated "concerns" about voter fraud. Today the U.S. Supreme Court, in a complicated...

Chuck Colson weighs in on Oprah and ’A New Earth’
Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:28:41 PDT
As promised, Chuck Colson covers the Oprah Winfrey/Eckhart Tolle controversy in today's BreakPoint commentary: . . . Tolle’s supposedly groundbreaking message is simply the same old New Age thinking in pretty packaging. While Tolle acknowledges something wrong with the human condition (what Christians call “sin”), he preaches the need not for repentance and salvation, but for a new “awakening.” This involves looking deep within the self for peace and harmony, not looking to Christ. There is no

What a delightful chapter title in Adam Shostack’s and Andrew Stewart’s new book, The New School of Information Security. Adam is a guy I’ve known for a lot of years now – somehow. He always seems to pop up in the places I go – both physically (at conferences and such) – and intellectually. He blogs at Emergent Chaos and maintains a list of his interesting papers and presentations on his personal homepage. Adam and his co-author have produced a readable, compact tour of the information securit

How People Explain Female Geeks
Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:00:39 PDT
A question that comes up a lot in the course of my research and blogging, both implicitly and explicitly, is why geek culture is typically described and understood as a male phenomenon, and why female involvement needs some sort of special explanation. This has been on my mind a lot lately for a few reasons, not least of which being the articles that occasionally cross my screen. It’s no great secret that most of the pursuits thought of as “geeky” see greater participation among males than a
We should stop fooling ourselves. Our armed forces are no longer world class

By Max Hastings (THE GUARDIAN, 28/04/08): The Ministry of Defence is plunged into a grim process described as a “mini defence review”. Teams of service officers and civil servants are exploring every aspect of spending and procurement plans in a desperate effort to save money. Current year sums have been made to add up only by creative accountancy, pushing back some big bills to 2010. Whoever becomes defence secretary after an election that year will face a pile of yellowing, unpaid invoices.
The Gymnast And the Czar
Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:02:45 PDT
By Fred Hiatt (THE WASHINGTON POST, 28/04/08): On a recent visit to Italy, President Vladimir Putin was asked about a Russian newspaper report that he was divorcing his wife of many years to marry a 24-year-old rhythmic gymnast famous in Russia for her lithe beauty. Putin denied the report in his usual charming way, scolding the media “with their snotty noses and their erotic fantasies.” Then the newspaper that published the rumor was shut down. Or, to be more precise, the newspaper that pub
The Chaste Vampire Generation
Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:06:48 PDT
Time Magazine this week looks into fiction phenom, Stephenie Meyer. Meyer, 34, is a huge success at selling books, but she's becoming something more. People dress up like her characters. They write their own stories about them and post their tales on the Internet. When she appears at a bookstore, 3,000 people go to meet her. There are Twilight-themed rock bands. But it is the rare vampire novel that isn't about sex on some level, and the Twilight books are no exception. What makes Meyer's bo
