My son and I saw one of those at the museum of science and technology in Milan. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind celebrating it once a year - so long as he still gets to have presents.

But that's negligence. I can see that being different from murder.
He neglected not to murder her. Classic case.

The civil case was not "murder" but "wrongful death".
Which amounts to the same thing, surely. I doubt that the parents OJ's wife, if asked how they lost their daughter, would respond that she "wrongfully died".

The civil case seems crazy to me. How you can pursue a civil case for largely the same thing that a person has been found not guilty of, I don't know.
Not to mention the idea that you can be tried in a civil court for murder. Although I guess that if you can have a civil war maybe you can also have a civil murder.

It's like teleporting, albeit very very slowly.
My new favourite sentence.
Like the Guggenheim, if the Guggenheim were made of tree fungus.
My new favourite concept.

Okay, that was fun. Now do a RuneQuest version, for the hardcore gamers.
Paranoia etc
Paranoia. AYERGH! I had completely buried that in some dark recess of my brain.
On the other hand I have made my panforte, which obviously must be easy if I can manage it and goes down a treat
Two different types this year as wellUhhh... recipe(s)?

Elaborate, please.
Oh no, no. No no no no no...

And to have a happy little boast - we picked more than 5kg of the sweetest raspberries this weekend.
I'm off to figure out the access to the Llewellyn mansion on Street View.

The kindest thing that can be said about McCain's outrageous claims is that they were made in profound ignorance.
It also has to be seen in the context of the general craziness of the choice, which had to be rationalised post-hoc for the non-rabid-christian portions of the electorate, leading to other entirely spurious claims. McCain also said for instance that Palin knew more about energy than anybody else in the country.

And, I further confess my sympathy for Palin is limited by the fact that she repeatedly declares her desire to overturn Roe v Wade, a decision founded on womens' privacy.
My sympathy for Palin is very close to zilch, exept insofar as she is a woman and the Trig theory had some really disturbing mysognistic crap clinging to it. But I dove have quite a bit of sympathy for Bristol and Trig. That nobody seems to be able to muster any outrage on their behalf is disheartening. This is going to hang around their necks for a long time.
