Salon roundup

Some Salon articles to which I’ve been meaning to link:

• “Short and sweet: You can look him straight in the eye and even borrow his clothes: Some reasons why smaller men rock.” That’s right. We rock. (Link via Tin Man. See also Thom’s entry.)
• “Welcome to the new cold war: It’s Chirac vs. Cheney, SUVs vs. minicars, and pommes frites vs. freedom fries in the new transatlantic culture war. But here’s what you don’t know: In the global conflict for moral and economic supremacy, Europe is winning.” (Link via serendipity, one of Thom’s “Dude, Check This Out” blogs.)
• “Car ports: How those eerily beautiful bubble cars in The Incredibles may well appear in our not-too-distant future.” (Link via ChastMastr.)
