SILICON GRAFFITI: When waves collide.

HIGH SPEED TRAINS ARE KILLING AIRPLANES IN EUROPE. If you could get me to DC in four hours — or even six — I’d take a train over a plane, and probably over driving. I doubt the economics work on most U.S. routes, though.

MORE ANIMAL RIGHTS TERRORISM: UCLA van torched by animal rights activists.

POLITICO: Muslims barred from picture at Obama event. “The campaign has apologized to the women, both Obama supporters who said they felt betrayed by their treatment at the rally.”

Gaffe-o-Matic! You know, an Obama presidency could be fun.

UPDATE: More: “That hurts, and the campaign has officially apologized. But should we really be dismayed to learn that the campaign cares about the look of the people behind the candidate? Don’t you remember ‘Get me more white people, we need more white people’? It should be done more tactfully, but wouldn’t it be incompetent not to control the backdrop?” But it sounds like the old politics, not the new politics of hope and change.

MICHAEL SILENCE: “With an unprecedented number of news outlets, why is the AP inviting millions of readers to go elsewhere?”

MORE ON THE SUBPRIME SIX: “A leading House Republican called Monday for hearings to determine which lawmakers received discount mortgage deals from Countrywide Financial Corp., but his colleagues in the House and the Senate don’t seem particularly eager to start turning over rocks.”

That’s because it’ll probably turn out to be more like the subprime sixty.

JAMES PETHOKOUKIS: 7 Ways McCain Can Use Energy to Beat Obama. A lot of people see this as an opportunity for McCain, and I think they’re right. Hairshirt environmentalism never seems to do well with voters.

CANADIAN KANGAROO COURT UPDATE: The “human rights” commissions seem to be feeling the heat, as they’ve decided to launch an “independent review” of themselves:

Amid mounting public and political controversy, the Canadian Human Rights Commission has launched an independent review of the way it deals with hate speech on the Internet.

Chief Commissioner Jennifer Lynch announced Tuesday she has asked Richard Moon, a leading constitutional expert at the University of Windsor, to conduct the study. His report, expected this October, will help shape the commission’s position on whether Internet hate laws should be changed, she said.

Seems like smoke-blowing to me, and I question the independence of an evaluator picked by the evaluatee. But the fact that they’re doing this suggests that they’re feeling the need for cover.

HOWARD KURTZ: “Taking offense has become a political art form.” Actually, it’s been one for a while. What’s got people nonplussed is that Republicans have started to do it, too.
