Not that I know who John Yoo is.
Torture Memo guy, unless I'm thinking of a different Yoo altogether.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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
Aaaaand I'm tearing up again:
South Carolina proved Obama could make a stand in the South. I live in Charleston, S.C., and his win in the state's primary really made a difference to people - both black and white. Several days before the primary, my cab driver told me he was going to vote for Obama but he didn't believe a black man could win against a white man or woman. I called him after the election to see if he voted. With pride in his voice he said, "I did and I took my kid with me and the next day I told him he was right. He could be anything he wanted to be someday, even President."
There are plenty of things I won't agree with Obama on and I think a lot of people are in for some disappointment when they start seeing those things. But he won't be calling us anti-american for it. And he'll try and find the common ground.
I'm also hoping he can unite the party a bit. Rahm Emanuel's hate-on for Howard Dean distresses me. I'll be interested to see how/if Obama reaches out to Dean (who's 50 state strategy has worked twice now). If he can get them to play nice with each other it could do the Democrats a lot of good. The GOP is pretty splintered at the moment, this would be a very good time for the Democrats to put their differences aside.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I'm finding myself weirdly fascinated by the Obamas. It's like I have a crush on the whole damn family.
Me, too. They are just so darned adorable - every one of them.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Fascinating article on an ex-missionary turned linguist who's taking on Chomsky's theory or universal language.

Dean is stepping down as chairman of the DNC.

The older Obama daughter (Malia?) is really beautiful.

Oh, man. Getting woken up by a ringing phone while in the middle of a horrific zombie dream is really not the way to start the morning.

I've set the Time magazine cover of Obama--and his asterix--as my new computer desktop.
