Atticus

are you supposed to draft a true subjective review of the book (I liked it/it stank) or judge the book against others in its genre (i.e it is a good/poor music-related bio)?

where does Jesus' beard fall in the hierarchy?

happy birthday :party :party

in the charlie rose interview, despite the usual dodging of direct questions, ahmadinejad (I haven't yet gotten used to typing that) did pose some interesting questions and points in response, however lacking in factual/evidentiary background they may have been. the guy knows how to keep his cool in an interview (as opposed to coming off like a wildass islamic extremist)

I've downloaded 74 shows via torrents and I'm not sure any have the sound clarity of kicking television (then again my audio equipment is way behind the times these days)

let's stay on topic

I have found torture* to be a reliable method for getting me to detail the contents of phone conversations I've had with family members while in the same room with the wife, clean the kitty litter box and all other sorts of activities I'd rather avoid. *torture defined as "nagging by the wife"

I'm still a bit ill and dizzy so I got lost in which quote was attributable to whom, but I thought in both of Dershowitz's examples there was no issue of mistaken identity. I think it's also important in these debates to define what "torture" is. From the brief excerpts I read it appears that Dershowitz supports minimalizing torture as much as possible (in other words, I don't think he's arguing with the quotes you included concerning the overuse of torture worldwide) and making its use transparent and holding those employing it accountable. But most importantly, I can't support anyone's a

= (apparently) douchebag

an excerpt from Dershowitz's website concerning the israeli-palestinian conflict: link to two chapters of his book re same granted, I've not read his book(s) concerning this issue, but it seems to me that he's not without an understanding that there are at least two sides to the issue.

his response: link to more complete response

for what tune does he don this one? (great pics by the way, many thanks)

I am incredibly excited and reservedly skeptical about this. Some things just shouldn't be messed with. The video trailer of the dvd looks like they're trying hard not to sound like the original versings/workings of the songs, rather than respecting the originals while infusing some new life/perspective. I'm not sure what that means. I'll no doubt watch it many times over however it turns out...

just watched charlie rose's interview with Ahmadinejad. very interesting.

Perhaps they should have tried tickling him first

pitch vibes your way. best of luck

lysol-disinfected vibes headed your way

don't calm down

banana-badger dance to celebrate. good news!

I haven't yet figured out how your love for the band just increases from year to year, but I'm almost certain it is not due to them varying up their setlists

he's not even my dog, but I love him just the same. In that picture he is intently fishing. He is a universal calming force.
