Today is, of course Talk Like Bill O'Reilly Day. Don't make me turn off your mic!

This Internet is a hotbed of dangerous speech! Even the print media are committing liable against me. There's something wrong in this country when famous people deliberately try to harm a legitimate businessman like myself.

Looks like O'Lielly's are busting out all over. Why do they hate America?

My precious... bodily fluids.

Just shut up, everybody. Shut up. Shut up!

On this day in 2004

NYT Magazine and campaign trail blogging: Long time no blog here at RFB due to a taxing schedule, very sorry. Full employment at non-blog-related work has a way of doing that to people, chewing up perfectly good blogging time. But just as my schedule lightens, the New York Times publishes a magazine article today on campaign blogging.... (Blogosphere)

Havrilesky on the fate of all fads: Thanks to RevCow, I procrastinated for ten minutes reading an interview with Heather Havrilesky in the L.A. Weekly.

'Twas ever thus: Cracking down on a thing just makes it more desirable. How many readers would have have slogged through Ulysses if it hadn't have been banned as obscene? It looks like BEACHtechie is getting his day in the sun, following the school suspension re-reported here earlier. ("Yesterday I had more unique visitors... (Memes)

Perspective on the Panel: Glenn Fleishman follows up on J.D.'s partial transcipt of the Berkeley panel: One of the points that I come away with from this discussion is that the real crux of the difference between journalism and personal blogging is a very fine amount of intermediation. Instead of the heavy intermediation that happens... (Weblog Concepts)

Throttling back: "Blogging will be light". I've started working on a still-under-wraps project this week and for the next month or three I will be a lot busier. I expect therefore to have less time for blogging, here, at RFB, and elsewhere. I imagine I'll still post nearly daily at least somewhere, but... (Miscellany)

Expelled for blogging: Metafilter is all over the "blogger expelled from school" story. Quoting Danelope: This is all due to every paranoid school administrator's fear that their school will be the next Columbine. Harris and Klebold had a Web site where they posted their hate-filled screeds against, well, just about everything, and as a... (Weblog Concepts)

RSS 2.0 template for Movable Type: (via Scripting News) Dive into Mark has developed an RSS 2.0 template for Movable Type. Besides demonstrating how to implement RSS 2.0 feeds, it also takes some steps towards showing how namespace innovations derived for RSS 1.0 can be utilized in this (other fork) version of the "standard" (can we still...
