jinianMostly politics today.
What Freedom of Information Act?
Dark Overtones in Bush's Malapropisms
This Washington state political cartoon is awfully good. Mean to everyone, just as a good political cartoon ought to be.
Anti-terrorism screening forces cancellation of concerts
"... indefinite military detention for those designated 'enemy combatants,' liberal use of 'material witness' warrants, counterintelligence-style wiretaps and searches led by law enforcement officials and, for noncitizens, trial by military commissions or deportation after strictly closed hearings. Only now, however, is it becoming clear how these elements could ultimately interact." Maybe to the author; some of us had figured this out.
Suitably enough, there's new Get Your War On available.
And in slightly encouraging news, Eugene, OR, seeks repeal of Patriot Act. Go, Eugene!
Finally, relief from the politics in the form (kinda) of llamas and gerbils. How can you resist? (Confidential to Wim: blimp alert!)
Feeling crowded leads to wanting to hole up leads to more obligations beating on my door because they're not being done leads to AAAGGHHHH. And stuff. How do I cut this off at the "wanting to hole up" stage? Sheesh, do I have to be responsible or something?
