quote [ The term miscarriage of justice carries with it the inference of accident, but also of death. There is a pressing need to investigate in detail how it has come about that there has been a form of death in this case – the death of justice – and who should be found responsible. ]
Considering that Al Megrahi died a couple of days ago, I thought you lot might enjoy this excellent essay about the process by which he was convicted. I had no idea that it was such a load of shit.

quote [ Another Saturday Night Fever coda: The Bee Gees' Robin Gibb died Sunday, his rep said in a statement to E! News. He was 62, and had been battling colon cancer.
Maurice Gibb, Robin's twin and bandmate, passed away in 2003. ] These deaths all seem to come in flocks.

quote [ In recent months a growing chorus of commentators has begun to dismantle the notion that the current polarization of American politics is equally the fault of “both sides.” Most notably, two old Washington hands and collaborators, the Brookings Institution’s Thomas Mann and the American Enterprise Institute’s Norman Ornstein, have directly blamed the Republican Party’s ideological extremism for our predicament. ]
Nice to see it in the media.

quote [ Jenna Talackova, born a man and nearly disqualified from the pageant, dominated the swimsuit and evening gown portions of the Miss Universe Canada competition. ]
Typically I don't give a shit about beauty patents. But this woman who used to be a guy is hot and I hope she wins. I also hope that after she wins she "leaks" a bunch of naked pictures. (i.e. the "porn" category is me wishful thinking)

quote [ Grand Old Party demonstrates that as a people united, our opinion has real volume. When we approve of a candidate, they swell with power. When we deem them unworthy, they are diminished and left hanging in the wind. We guard the gate! It opens and closes at our will. How wide is up to us. ]

quote [ Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney warned on Friday that the U.S. economy faced a huge fiscal hole and high taxes like the state of California if he did not win November's election against President Barack Obama. ]
lilmookie is not pleased.
California's economy is the eighth largest economy in the world (2011),[9] if the states of the U.S. were compared with other countries.[10][11] As of 2010, the gross state product (GSP) is about $1.9 trillion, which is 13% of the United States gross domestic product (GDP).[12] The state's GDP growth rate slowed to 0.4% in 2008 after having grown 3.1% in 2006 and 1.8% in 2007.[13] California, as a microcosm of the nation, experienced waves of internal and international migration. The state was also a leader in the high school movement and mass college education. California has a diverse economic base including agriculture, natural resources, World War II industries such as aerospace and aviation, shipping, and knowledge work such as the film in the Hollywood region and computer industries in Silicon Valley.

quote [ Kada paskutinį kartą klykei iš juoko? Tą galimybę aš Tau suteiksiu, jei š.m. gegužės 11d. ateisi pas mane į studiją, stosi pieš objektyvą ir nebijosi, kad gali būti nupūstas. Fotosesijoje 'BLOW JOB 'galės dalyvauti visi norintys, o išdrįsę gaus savo portretą. etc. ]
