This Kuro5hin (I'm told it's pronounced 'corrosion,' though I see the name abbreviated enough that I suspect the cognoscenti prefers 'kay-five.) article about Farenheit 9/11 is among the better things I've read about the movie. This fairly-well-known Christopher Hitchens hatchet job isn't as good (and here are several hatchet-job hatchet jobs, from DU, Disinfo and Hollywood Bitchslap). This Filthy Critic review is a good bit worse.

Is Bush planning to 'find' Osama Bin Laden at a moment of political expediency? The New Republic raises the possibility--they call it the July Surprise. The name is a reference to the Reagan-era October Surprise. Octobersurprise.net is a guess-the-Bush-dirty-trick site, and .com and .org point to ad pages and a Senate candidate, respectively.

I really like Memepool, though it's pretty clear that many of their contributors visit the same link-o-rama websites that I do. Speaking of, where do people go when they can't get Metafilter accounts? Monkeyfilter is the obvious answer, but I suspect there's a better one.

Here's some automotive journalism that isn't unbearable: Elepent Scribbles, The Truth About Cars and, of course, NPR's Car Talk.

Here are some vaguely sex-themed quizzes--Dog Toy or Marital Aid, and Porn Star or My Little Pony. While I'm at it, True Porn Clerk Stories.

Here's some weird-audio stuff--April Winchell (check out 'Rappin With Gas,' as heard on DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist's 'Product Placement' mix) and Otis Fodder's 365-days-of-outsider-music project. Also, via Mefi, 100-songs-on-a-single-CD.

Ooh, and ghost sites.  ¶ 9:39 PM
