Sorry, WordPress, but I’m fed up with your ham-handed restrictions on what I can do with my blog. I like the layout choices you give me. I like the design and look.
But when are we going to be able to use the cool javascript widgets and gadgets that other blogging platforms permit? I just wasted 20 minutes trying to add a little FriendFeed widget to this site, so people could post to their FriendFeed from here. Nope, you blocked it over and over. I had to settle for the little chiclet link, instead.
I have friends who know I blog, and when they want to get started blogging they ask me what platform they should choose. I used to say WordPress, but now I plan to send them elsewhere. You’re holding us back, as well as yourselves, WordPress.

Obama could have a future in stand-up! Don’t miss this — McCain’s roast of Obama is pretty good, too, but Obama had the better comedy speechwriters.

I’m no fan of Peggy Noonan, and there is much in this column of hers that I don’t agree with, but it’s interesting to see a conservative’s analysis of Palin’s failings.
