Thursday Rapid Fire

The rapid fire is almost a daily feature now.

• Belkin I-Pod Microphone
• 142 arrested in antiterrorism sweep - Why isn't this bigger news? It happened in a major US ally (Italy) and is a staggering number for a Western country
• Pet Robot Housekeeper - or something like that from Japan
• Rove Free Zone - Thoughts from the left coast on the Wilson - Plame affair
• Annan urges U.N. expansion, reform - It's hard to believe that was actually said out loud. And what's been happening to the Oil For Food probe anyway? That's been in a black hole for two months.
• Quote of the Day - "When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice." Marquis de la Grange
