  • Merry Vote-mas!

    I’m pretty stunned that the Senate is as close as it is.

    From Mofi: So I approached him, I got about two feet away, and I said in a very calm tone of voice, ‘Your policies in Iraq are reprehensible.’ And then I walked away.” …  “He [Secret Service] grabbed me and cuffed my hands behind my back in the presence of my eight-year-old son and told […]

  • CNN Int'l on Extraordinary Rendition and Maher Arar

    Nice to see something extended on this on the telly. Granted it is on CNN. Granted it is the slim half-hour each day when they show CNN International.
