Chicago was obviously nostalgic for Prohibition and speakeasies, so found a new thing to ban (the term “duckeasy” is hilarious).

About the image of the well-hung black man.

Some of the seized “children” in the raid on the Mormon polygamists appear to be legal adults reducing the number of underage mothers in custody to 26. Which is still quite a lot.

Ah yes, the INS, living down to our expectations. And deporting foreigners but drugging them first. Both via _53.

A judge rejects “expert” evidence that a man dying his hair purple is a sign of psychosis. Via damned_colonial.

The difficulties of politics-free intelligence analysis.

The fun of gaffe spotting. Suggesting Obama’s (lack of) grasp of history may be a little worrying. More. None of this will resonate: Obama being of the wrong side of politics to be significantly tarred by accusations of being laughably/worryingly ignorant/stupid.

Dubya made a speech to the Knesset celebrating Israel’s 60 years of existence. Obama got all upset. Perhaps he take consolation that Hamas supports him (or perhaps not). About Obama getting all upset. Putting it to filk.

About Hillary not being one of the cool kids anymore. Hillary romps home in West Virginia. But Obama is still clearly in the lead with delegates and much closer to the magic number.
