Yeah, I think I’d run for the freaking hills if a dental assistant came in wearing one of these. Doesn’t it seem like these would be way better for use robbing banks? See the original post for more frightening pictures.

God I love “The Intern” blog!

INTERN is back at it today, and was relieved to see that the eds hadn’t found a perkier, more mentally stable intern in INTERN’s absence (the old intern switcheroo apparently happens sometimes: on the train this morning, paranoid fantasies that Nemesis Intern had taken over and would be sitting there licking INTERN’s rightful decline envelopes when she got in). All is well.

INTERN has been meaning to make a list of her favorite small presses, and for this particular batch she has whittled it down to:

a) presses whose books were so good and smart and bizarre they reading them was akin to taking a psychoactive substance.

or

b) presses based in Vancouver, BC (INTERN had a Can-lit fetish for a solid 8 years).

and/or

c) presses whose editor or author at some point bought INTERN a misguided beer.

Tsunami Editions: Daring, almost psychotically experimental poetry press associated with Vancouver’s Kootenay School of Writing, actively publishing between 1984 and 2001. If you can find a copy of Brixton Fractals by Allen Fischer, read it. It will blow your dome.

LINEbooks: More experimental/political/Language-inspired poetry out of the Vancouver scene. Check out Reg Johansen’s Courage, My Love and pretty much everything else they published in 2006.

Anvil Press: Anvil Press publishes a whole whack of books every year, but INTERN always looks forward to when they publish the winner of the International 3-day Novel-Writing contest every year (which is, btw, coming up in September: www.3daynovel.com)

Tuumba Press: Who wouldn’t love a small press founded and still edited by, um, Lyn Hejinian? Wait, anyone?

Arsenal Pulp Press: Because they have a book coming out about knitbombing, or something—where vegan hipsters go out at night and knit cozies around city telephone poles. And that’s neat.

Muumuu House: Because they randomly sent INTERN a book of poetry in the mail, and it was good. That’s enough to make them an instant favorite, in INTERN’s books.

Now INTERN has a pile of submissions to read so high its top ms is actually in danger of setting off the sprinkler system.

He wants to turn this country into a totalitarian nightmare, just like CANADA!

What’s not to love about having our healthcare decisions made by insurance company accountants?

The government could be building a giant map of social networks using Facebook and Twitter, scraping MySpace pages, or mining the metadata associated with cellular phone calls in order to look for communication patterns. On the other hand, all of that computer power that the NSA is aggregating at the datacenters that are coming online could just be for the limited purpose of snooping voice calls and e-mail coming into and out of the US, but such narrow use is unlikely. 

What the NSA is doing with its massive and growing capabilities is still a secret, but it’s probably an extension of DoD efforts at mapping social networks that extend back to the early part of the decade. A new EFF lawsuit filed this week could finally shed at least a little more light on the nature of these classified activities, so that we can know for sure whether some descendent of John Poindexter’s Total Information Awareness program lives on at the NSA.
