Janice Brown has started the Cow Hampshire blog.
All things Granite, done in an attractive
and professional manner. (Including a link to Pun Salad, so I'm
reciprocally grateful.)
Her humorous look at the "welcome sign slogan" controversy is especially good. (Discussed previously here.)

Seeing a "test page" in your web wanderings isn't exactly uncommon.
(I used to have an example here.)
Here's
a similar one you get with the CentOS Linux distribution.
Simple, no big deal, right? But there's probably nothing on the web people cannot misunderstand and overreact to. Here's a hilarious e-mail exchange between CentOS support and the City Manager of Tuttle, Oklahoma. (Via LWN.)

Patterico examines
the proposed FEC regulations on political speech on the internet. He's
been consistent and principled on the issue at stake: a system under
which government regulators dole out "exemptions" and "exceptions" permitting
us to engage in political speech is odious, contemptible, and has
no place in a free society.
I unconscionably failed to take Patterico's pledge last year, but will do it now:
If the FEC makes rules that limit my First Amendment right to express my opinion on core political issues, I will not obey those rules.
Of course, that's a pretty cheap pledge to make, given the minuscule likelihood of an FEC crackdown on Pun Salad. Nevertheless, there it is. - And back in January, I fearlessly predicted that the Google would return around 500 hits for the phrase "Oprahfication of America" around now. Instead it gives "about" 257 hits (as I type), up a whole 13 hits from two months ago. I think we're looking at (at best) a Stagnant Meme here. Remember this, should you ever be tempted to rely on Pun Salad for social prognostication.
