This is the happiest and saddest story I have ever heard: [link] Siblings reunited 65 years after being separated Using database of Holocaust survivors, family resolves a long-time mystery
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Meanwhile in Wisconsin (this from the AP):
A judge on Friday dismissed charges of attempted sexual assault against three men accused of trying to dig up a woman's body to have sex with the corpse, noting that Wisconsin has no law against necrophilia.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How was that going to work?

I would guess that it's "attempted" because they were caught? And had they a necrophilia statute on the books it would have been against the law but since they don't. . . they got charged with something else.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, but "Spanish Ladies" is a fine song.
And now I'm longing to hear a good version of The Fire Ship. Moderately dirty, but a really pretty tune and fun, fun, fun to sing.
How can the same world contain bawdy pirate songs, an 83-year-old man giddily hugging the stuffing out of his long-lost sister, and those fuckholes in Washington? It makes the brain hurt.

There have got to be corpse disposal and property rights things that make more sense. I hope sexual assault wasn't their whole case and that now these guys get off.
I mean go free.
I just heard someone a few cubes over ask what a coup was. Sounds like an adult native speaker of English.
