Now I’ll have to break the news

That I have no mind to lose

All the girls are in love with me

I’m a blogwatch lobotomy….

Lileks: Review of the restored “Metropolis.” I must see this movie. Link via Tepper I think.

Iraq, furriners, and capitalism–interesting piece from the LA Times. I got it from Body and Soul, though I don’t think it’s as grim as she paints it.

Chief Wiggles is (or says he is, insert usual disclaimer about how on the Internet nobody can tell that you’re a dog) in military intelligence in Iraq. Super-interesting despite usual disclaimer. Via Kesher Talk. And another Baghdad blogger–a friend of Salam Pax I think.
