    • Random Updates It's been a while since I've actually said anything on here, hasn't it? So it goes, sometimes. This past school quarter was a rather unpleasant one, and online babbling became a pretty low priority for me. So, some random updates on the world around me...

    • Saturday Mourning I've mentioned before that The Stranger has been consistently doing the best reporting on the Capitol Hill shooting. They continue with this feature story on the events of the night.
    • Weapons of Mass Destruction NRA members and 'right to bear arms' wingnuts, feel free to brand me as a gun-control nut. I'm fine with that. There is _NO good reason_ why this sort of weaponry needs to be openly available to the general public.

    • Jello Über Alles This week's This American Life had a fascinating look at Michael Guarino, the prosecuting lawyer in the 1986 obscenity trial against Jello Biafra and the Dead Kennedys over their Frankenchrist album and the H. R. Giger print included with it.
    • How many times were you a minor? On a lighter note, while this news story isn't really something to laugh at, it has a wonderful example of bad writing that made me laugh...
    • It’s only domestic violence if you’re married Here's a jaw-dropping, 'holy shit' item: in Ohio, beating someone you live with is only domestic violence if you're married, and the justification used for this is Ohio's constitutional ban on same-sex marriages.
    • Marilyn Monroe Up until last week sometime, I'd never actually seen a Marilyn Monroe film. I knew who she was, of course, and had seen the occasional brief clip from one film or another here and there, but I had yet to actually watch any of her work.
    • They used to be funny… When did Steve Martin stop being funny? It had to be sometime after 1991, when he wrote and starred in one of my personal favorite films, L.A. Story.
    • Small Pets Allowed As Prairie and I are planning on getting a place together in a few months, we've started occasionally flipping through 'For Rent' listings to see what's available in our price range around town. Yesterday, one of the listings caught my eye. 'Hey -- 'small pets allowed, up to 20 pounds.' We could get forty hamsters!'

    • It all makes sense now Looks like some previously classified medical X-rays of Pres. Bush have been leaked. Somehow, the results aren't very surprising.
    • Cpt. Obvious Getting shot at wasn't really that bad. It was the getting shot part that sucked.
    • Unedited video from Basra Noted independent journalist Robert Fisk got to see some unedited videotape shot by Al-Djazaira of Basra, which is supposedly captured and held by British forces.
    • Dean at Harvard Presidential candidate Howard Dean gave a talk at Harvard last night. He asked an interesting question. Next year, how will we feel when China invades Taiwan because they think they have weapons of mass destruction? Has the new Bush Doctrine, pre-emptive wars, unleashed a philosophy of world power that we may not be so comfortable with?
    • Chad kicks much ass April 15th at the Catwalk Club: Pigface and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult (along with two bands I've not heard of, Zeromancer and Bile)!

    • This CBDPTA bill is scary Just in case folks haven't figured out how sweeping the Hollings-Feinstein bill, aka CBDTPA is, well, keep reading.

    • So, I’m curious… What's up with all these DJ-friendly themed songs hitting the radio lately? By 'DJ-friendly' I don't mean they've all got 32-beat drum-based intros, or anything like that, just that they're all thematically very similar.
