Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
The solar occultation I mentioned yesterday has revealed a new ring, as well as "wispy fingers of icy material stretching out tens of thousands of kilometers from the active moon, Enceladus." Also, a fuzzy snapshot of Earth as it appears from Saturn.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Malkin.
Here are a ton of photographs from Banksy's LA warehouse show. What I'm most struck by is how normal Perry Farrell looks these days.
You can no longer have sex with a corpse in California, but there's probably still time to schedule your vacation in Wisconsin before they make it illegal there.
Election season always brings out the silly squad.
When Mississippi John Hurt wrote Big Legged Woman, he probably hadn't imagined Ms. Sellars.
Hard to say exactly what you'd charges you'd bring against this guy.
The Victorian Surrealism of Jeffrey Michael Harp's Hippopotamouse.
TrackBackSheperd Fairey is a lot younger looking than I expected.

Posted by: M/tch M/lls at September 20, 2006 12:12 PMRe: Malkin, can we all agree that executing someone without due process is a bit worse than detaining him without due process?
Posted by: Gaijin Biker at September 20, 2006 02:14 PMI think the complaint is that MM is outraged about the lack of due process in this case but does not care about it in the case of prisoners held by the US. Do you think that if the US started sentencing Guantanamo detainees to death, MM would get outraged about it? Because it would be more in keeping with her sentiments expressed up until now, to applaud it.
Posted by: Clownæsthesiologist at September 20, 2006 02:19 PMThere are more than a few "detainees" who no longer draw breath, y'know. And they never had any charges, bullshit or otherwise, brought against them. But I haven't heard anything from Malkin about that except to defend the administration and denigrate either the patriotism or intelligence of anybody who who questions the adminstration's actions. I don't know enough about the guys in Indonesia to have an opinion about their relative guilt or innocence, but I'll say right now that Malkin quite obviously has different standards of justice based on what religion the accused follows.
But I'll agree that I'd never want to be caught up in Indonesia's legal system.

Oh man. Five bonus points awarded. How I wish I'd thought of that.
