Jeg er ikke glad for den ny logningsbekendtgørelse (indført i terror bekæmpelsens hellige navn). Men når nu andre, med masser af baggrunds viden om emnet (se link ovenfor) har en velformuleret kritik, så finder jeg det lettest bare at smide et link, i stedet for at svede over tasterne selv. Så kig hvis du er nysgerrig, mangler argumenter eller mangler generel baggrundsviden om emnet.
Er socialister mere ulykkelige end andre? – Politiken.dk
This can’t be good. And by good, I mean for me personally. For the sake of my own mental health I should properly start turning more to the political right? Or just stop caring about other people? Yes, that’s it!
On a side note I have just booked tickets for Tokyo, Japan. Looking forward to that very much!
Nuclear Bombs Mistakenly Flown Over US – Forbes.com
Well, shit happens. I do the same thing sometimes with my remote control. I will go to the kitchen for a snack or some juice and for some reason I bring along the tv remote control and place it in the kitchen. When I go back to the living room and want to switch the channel I can’t figure out where the remote is. So I don’t think anyone should give these guys to much heat over this. Could have happened to anyone.
Except maby that my tv remote isn’t really a nuclear device capable of turning half a city to dust and rubble. Not that I know of, anyway.
Also, if you’r a bit more paranoid, this can be seen as a very bluntly delivered message to Iran. Turns out that the destination of the nukes, Barksdale, is a staging base for Middle East operations.
Fun stuff!
Anyway, I’m off to uni for the first time in weeks.

David Rovics is a folk singer/songwriter with some interesting songs about big and small political topics – and a few love songs.
You can get all his songs for a price at iTunes or you can download them for free at the internet – and legally I might add. David has released most (all?) of his music under a Creative Commons license, so anyone is free to share the music, as long as it is not used for commercial purposes.
A lot of his music can be found here at soundclick.
A few of my favorites include these humorous tunes with a funny approach to different themes – big and small.

Operation Iraqi Liberation
And finally this non-political romantic song

Modkraft.dk – din progressive nyhedsportal!
Vejret er super godt og der var egentlig et par andre (mere hyggelige) ting jeg ville skrive om… Men så så jeg ovenstående artikel på modkraft!
Jeg vidste det jo godt… politiet (eller i hvertfald visse dele af politiet) er de rigtige volds psykopater. Gad vide hvor ofte de laver sådan noget og slipper af sted med det. Det er jo nok ikke første gang de forsøger sådan noget. Men jeg er sur. Nej, jeg er rasende! og når jeg er det, så skriver jeg ikke godt. Læs artiklen i stedet. Læs den nu!
Midt i alt G8 tumulten og landskamp cirkuset er vores statsminister sluppet alt alt for let i medierne fra fuldstændig at ignorerer ombudsmandens henstilling om give Bo Elkjær et interview om Irak krigen eller et sagligt begrundet afslag!
Bo Elkjær, der i 2003 vandt Cavlingprisen sammen med Charlotte Aagaard og Jørgen Steen Nielsen “for deres gennemarbejdede, veldokumenterede og kritiske artikler om det demokratiske beslutningsgrundlag for Danmarks deltagelse i Irak-krigen”, har i over 600 dage i træk bedt Anders Fogh Rasmussen om et interview om Irak krigen, grundlaget for at gå med i krigen, påstanden om masseødelæggelsesvåben osv.
Men stats ministeren har gang på gang (uden begrundelser) afvist at give et interview. Jeg er selvfølgelig fuldt ud bevidst om at statsministeren ikke er forpligtet til at give interviews til nogen som helst. Men når man husker på, at det er den samme statsminister, som taler om værdikamp mellem demokrati og diktatur, burde han vel være den første til at huske på, at en af grund pillerne i vores såkaldte demokrati er en kritisk presses, der får mulighed for at stille spørgsmål (også ubehagelige spørgsmål) til magthaverne.
Irak krigen var nok en af de største og mest kontroversielle beslutninger denne regering har truffet og uden i øvrigt at tage stilling til rigtigheden af den beslutning må det være klart for enhver, at statsministeren burde være klar til at stille op til interviews om denne beslutning og konsekvenserne af den. For han burde da kunne forsvare sine handlinger overfor kritiske journalister? Burde han ikke?
Jeg syntes han udviser en foragt for pressen og hele det demokratiske system med sin optræden og det er specielt ikke klædeligt for landets statsminister (ligegyldigt hvad man så ellers syntes om ham)!
BBC NEWS | Middle East | US Iraq troops condone torture
Der står bl.a.
About 10% of those surveyed said they had actually mistreated Iraqi civilians by hitting or kicking them, or had damaged their property when it was not necessary to do so.
og så undre man sig over hvorfor de udenlandske tropper ikke er populære…
Hvad har jeg gået og lavet på det sidste? Tjah, skrevet på min blog har jeg jo ikke… men lad os se:
Torsdag d. 8. marts var jeg inde og se Per Vers (og andre) spille på Rust til en Unicef støttekoncert.
Fredag d. 9. var jeg til kollegiefest, lørdag var jeg til 24 års fødselsdag. Mandag eftermiddag følte jeg mig ikke helt på toppen og kunne efterhånde udelukket at det var tømmermænd der ville forsvinde naturligt, så jeg blev hjemme fra forelæsning tirsdag med ondt i halsen (og måske lidt feber?). Endelig var jeg inde og se Blood Diamond onsdag.
I dag har jeg været til demonstration mod krigen i Irak, med for-demonstration fra Blågårds Plads… Selve demonstrationen blev bl.a. dækket af Politiken her.
Nu skal jeg af sted til kollegiefest / bar om lidt (eller, jeg skal ud og have noget junkfood før festen)… og sådan kan man jo hurtigt bruge 1½ uge…
During the last days of rioting here in Copenhagen the danish police has “searched” quite a lot of adresses around the city. It seems they have primarily been looking for people who have participated in the protests against the clearing of Ungdomshuset. The problem is that the police seem to have “forgotten” to bring search warrants.
I understand that the last couple of days have not been ‘buisness as usual’ for the police here in the Danish capitol, but has it really come so far that legal political organisations can have their memberlists searched by police without a warrent?
Sturday the third of March the police searched Folkets Hus (press releas from Folkets Hus, in danish) and Rød Ungdom‘s office (news article from politiken.dk, also in danish).
Danish ISP Tele2 has been forced to censor Russian based website allofmp3.com. I haven’t used allofmp3.com’s service, and don’t plan to in the future, but that doesn’t mean that this isn’t interesting and disturbing to me. If IFPI can get the courts to turn off allofmp3.com today, who will get what website turned off tomorrow? Your guess is as good as mine.
Here is a screen shot of what my browser returns when I try to visit http://www.allofmp3.com/:
However, the censorship is not impossible to get around, if you have a little technical skill…
If you were to add the following few lines to your hosts file you should be well on your way to getting around the blocking (for now).
87.242.93.250 allofmp3.com
87.242.93.250 www.allofmp3.com

In a completely unrelated topic, I finished my algebra exam today. It didn’t go as well as I had hoped, but I should be sure of passing (and isn’t that the important part?). It was a written exam, so my final grade is not known yet. Time will tell.
Now I’m (almost) off to get some Julebryg of some sort, and then I have a packed (but interesting) weekend ahead of me. Take care out there (who ever might be listening out there…).
