I Plea the 5th

In honor of my Australian readers, check out this on-line exhibit.

I wanted to comment briefly on the whole RIAA business. The strategy of suing one's own customers seems dubious at best and it won't do much to reverse the industry's current economic woes. I can't understand why RIAA doesn't fully embrace the possibilities inherent in the Internet. I will gladly pay a small fee for a song if the quality can be guaranteed. For me, the MP3 format has changed the way I listen to music. No more asking someone else to dig through my collection and insert the disc. Now everything is just a click of the mouse away.

One of my fellow Minnesotans is harassing the Bush economic team. I love the job-hunting advice he gets from Secretary Snow: "Just wait."

I'm debating whether to go to the Howard Dean Meetup next week.
