Lockerbie Bomber to be Set Free
Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the man convicted of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, and who was given a life sentence in 2001 will be released on "compassionate grounds." He was convicted of killing 270 people eight years ago; but he is being released early as he is in the final stages of prostate cancer. I guess in Scotland, life is 8 years, but if you have a terminal illness, they let you out early so you can die at home. I thought the point of a life sentence was to put the person in prison until they die? Europeans are weird.
A Few Americans are making the Rest of Us Look Bad
Earlier in the week, GA Congressmen David Scotts’s office was vandalized, but not just with eggs, TP, or a flaming bag of poop. Nope, the vandal spray painted a four foot swastika on his office door. Now, he is getting hundreds of very threatening faxes and letters, many using a particular word you do not say towards African Americans. To top it all, Rep. Scott brought some of these letter to a CNN interview and CNN aired some pretty much unedited…way to go CNN, advancing race relations since never.
Largest Column Installed Yet At World Trade Center Site
Breaking News: AP is reporting that a large column, the LARGEST thus far, has been installed on the site. The news story even had an accompanying photo of a crane installing said column. Other news from this reporter, the Pacific Ocean is a big ocean, the BIGGEST; The Amazon River is a long river, the LONGEST; and decent reporting is dead, COMPLETELY DEAD. Somewhere in Heaven, Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite are crying.

09:55 am - Post for Political Junkies
I found a well written New York Times story reporting on the closeness of Treasury Secretary Geithner to those for whom he has been charged with overseeing. It is a long story and it is quite disturbing.

I know it is a long article, but this is a very important topic as it is far better to die with your eyes open than to die with it buried in the sand.

Amazon is selling Morrissey's new album Years of Refusal for $3.99 through their MP3 store. The quality is 256 kb and the album has 12 tracks, so only 33.3 cents a track, which is an awesome price for a album that came out yesterday.
