roadrunnertwice: Me looking up at the camera, wearing big headphones and a striped shirt. (Viva! La Revolution!)
Via alicublog, I find, through a post on a local blog that just got overrun by that disingenuous coward Lileks's thuggish commenters, that the RNC has picked our dear Twin Cities for their 2008 convention. That's right: the party of torture has picked MY darling blue city for their quad-yearly orgy of fearmongering, lies, and 9/11 pornography.

I'm too angry to say much more about this. But believe me, you'll be hearing more anon.

I'm sorry, did I say I was done for the night?

Habeas Corpus is gone from the United States, as of this afternoon. The prospects for the Court saving us are grim. One Republican absented himself from this travesty. 12 Democrats got on board with it. No real filibuster attempt was mounted.

I kinda just want to cry. Sleep well in your brand new country, everyone.
