Do comments for stories enhance or worsen the online reading experience? Now asks the question. However, iis that really the biggest issue facing online news sites? I say no.

The Globe and Mail's Lawrence Martin tries to parse what the potential sale of CanWest's National Post title could mean to the political landscape.

From CBC.ca:

The Alberta Human Rights Commission has dismissed a complaint against publisher Ezra Levant for reprinting the provocative Danish Muhammad cartoons in his magazine (the now-defunct Western Standard - BD) in 2006.

The complaint was filed by the Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities.

Levant, who has characterized the controversy as a free speech issue, said he was pleased with the outcome and pledged to continue fighting against censorship.

In this this Iggy Pop and the Stooges tune -- first presented on the eponymous The Stooges album, released in 1969 -- you can (to my mind) hear the roots of the Ramones and the Sex Pistols, who actually covered the song.

Punk took the same basic rhythmic and chord structure (not to mention its spirit) and then sped it up.
