Norm,

Recently I posted a link to something on Juan Cole's blog as a comment to a post of yours about the war in Lebanon. Did you feel that it was off-topic?

The pilot for Aaron Sorkin's new show, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip", has leaked onto youtube. It has all the wit and wisdom, social commentary and satire that we've come to expect from Sportsnight and the West Wing. The first ten minutes includes a monologue about the state of television in our country. With the executive producer usurping the airwaves, a network exec busts into the control room screaming, "TAKE HIM OFF THE AIR!" To which Timothy Busfield replies, "I'm waiting for him to say something that isn't true."

The entire episode is posted in five parts. The first of which can be found here.

I highly recommend checking out Don Asmussen's "Bad Reporter" comic strip in the SF Chronicle. (New ones appear on Wednesdays and Fridays.)

His latest one is here: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/07/28/DDASMUSSENBR.DTL

... and there's an archive of his past strips here:

"Israel’s Government has thrown its weight behind efforts by supporters to counter what it believes to be negative bias and a tide of pro-Arab propaganda. The Foreign Ministry has ordered trainee diplomats to track websites and chatrooms so that networks of US and European groups with hundreds of thousands of Jewish activists can place supportive messages.

In the past week nearly 5,000 members of the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS) have downloaded special “megaphone” software that alerts them to anti-Israeli chatrooms or internet polls to enable them to post contrary viewpoints. A student team in Jerusalem combs the web in a host of different languages to flag the sites so that those who have signed up can influence an opinion survey or the course of a debate."

I really wanted to find a link that I found was really interesting. It was a work by some neurologists who explained fundamentalist thought. Essentially, when someone BELIEVES something to be right, there are some neurological mechanisms who will strugle to find an answer to any evidence contrary to their beliefs. This mechanism is so strong, that even twisted logic is accepted as a good argument, since it reinforces their own belief.

The difference between this explanation and common sense explanation of stubborn stupidity, is that it was an actual neurological explanation.

But I can't find that link... If anyone here thinks they know what I'm talking about, I'd love to get my hands on it again, especially since it applies to some of the people who come here to comment...

But just so this isn't strictly a link request, here's some links some might find interesting:
