Thanks, Trudes. I'll need two, though.

I always feel so sad for Princess Masako. Maybe this will help, at least taking the disappointment of a nation off her some.

That article is very frightening. And sad.

Jesse, thanks for the link. I found some pics on justjared.com, but the java script for the slideshow wouldn't work for me. That picture at Vanity Fair is an unpublished one. I thought she just looked adorable in the other pictures, but in that shot at Gawker, her eyes are freaking me out.

It's related to S's problems. Not her in specific, of course, but frustrations over trying to take care of her and get her the help she needs.

Sean, I can't even imagine how much you're going through right now. I want you to know I always think how lucky she is to have you in her life.

the gist of the defense was "a woman wouldn't be capable of this" even though the evidence pretty much pointed right at her.

The thing that really pointed at her was that it appears her step-mother died a good deal of time (maybe an hour or so) before her father, so the odds are that the murderer was someone in the house. However, there were servants in the house, at least at the moment of discovering the bodies. One of the things that worked in favor of Lizzie's acquittal was that she fainted at the trial when they unveiled the skulls. Also, she had no blood on her at the time the bodies were discovered.

I don't have any strong conviction of her innocence, but (to me) there did seem to be a little bit more mystery to Borden murder, of course I may just feel that way because it happened so long ago.

Another great Olbermann commentary [link]

More over, Mr. Bush, you are accomplishing in part what Osama Bin Laden and others seek—a fearful American populace, easily manipulated, and willing to throw away any measure of restraint, any loyalty to our own ideals and freedoms, for the comforting illusion of safety.

It thus becomes necessary to remind the President that his administration’s recent Nazi “kick” is an awful and cynical thing.

And it becomes necessary to reach back into our history, for yet another quote, from yet another time and to ask it of Mr. Bush:

“Have you no sense of decency, sir?”

Also, she had no blood on her at the time the bodies were discovered.

Isn't there a theory that she committed the murders in the nude (then just took a bath), which was not a concept that they could contemplate at the time.

Also, she had no blood on her at the time the bodies were discovered.

There was a great (and fairly graphic) TV movie with Elizabeth Montgomery made about Lizzie, that made the supposition that she'd stripped naked for the murders, cleaned herself up in the basement and was dressed by the time the bodies were found. Good movie (I think I managed to get that on VHS, but it might not have survived my last move).

HA! And x-posting fun goes on and on and on...

Also, in fun me trivia, I have an aunt (by marriage) who's distantantly related to Lizzie.

She has a freakish amount of hair. I suspect a Baby Wig.

I still suspect a cleverly disguised shitzu.
