- Ugly, baby. Just righteously ugly. A Guardian columnist charged that in Iraq, the US is “eliminating” those who count the dead and thus make things difficult for the Bush administration. These people being largely doctors and foreign reporters and clergymen. A US Ambasador took exception to this charge, and told her to put up or shut up.
- I’ve heard of symbolic, empty gestures, but this is ridiculous. In Thailand, in a gesture of peace, nearly 100 million Japanese-style origami cranes were dropped from the air.
- This truly is recommended reading about which I have no witty remark to make: In Virginia, a lesbian woman has had her child taken away from her by the parents of her late partner, the child’s biological mother, who died in 2002.
This is what I think of when Bush and his supporters rail against activist courts, why doesn’t anybody else?
Happy monday, everybody.
