Another collection of links and stories I meant to blog individually but things kept slipping away.

Ahh these guys are genius. Well done, sirs!- Speaking of idiots….
Norm Olson, senior adviser to the Michigan militia and pastor of a strong right-to-life church in Wolverine, said Tuesday he had put together an unarmed coalition of state militias that were prepared to storm the Florida hospice where Terri Schiavo has been left to die, and take her to a safe house.
Olson said he needed only the OK from Schiavo’s father, Robert Schindler, either directly or through his attorney David Gibbs, to put the plan, called “Operation Resurrection,” into action on Sunday.
- Know the flap from those of us on the left about how the U.S. Government has been ‘outsourcing torture’? Well, more possible proof that it is indeed happening.
Maher Arar, a 35-year-old Canadian engineer, is suing the United States, saying American officials grabbed him in 2002 as he changed planes in New York and transported him to Syria where, he says, he was held for 10 months in a dank, tiny cell and brutally beaten with a metal cable.
Are these the “American Values” you voted for, conservatives?
- In other news of depressing proportions, 1,360 scientists from 95 countries are backign a study that says “almost two-thirds of the natural machinery that supports life on Earth is being degraded by human pressure.” Hey, good thing we didn’t sign that Kyoto agreement or that we appointed pollution lobbyists to EPA spots.
- Speaking of the Age of Orwell & the environment:
Interior Secretary Gale Norton has named Matthew J. Hogan to be acting director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
…
Hogan was formerly the chief lobbyist for Safari Club International (SCI), an extreme trophy hunting organization that advocates the killing of rare species around the world. - And here in Indiana, where “we’re bass-ackward and PROUD of it!”
The Venus de Milo had better wear a top and Michelangelo’s David should put on some pants if they’re going to be seen at a yard art business.
Bartholomew County officials told the business near Interstate 65 that it must move cement copies of the classical statues — and about 10 others — out of public view because they are obscene under Indiana law.
*sigh* it’s days like this I need a stiff drink.
Oh, how convenient. Tonight is Drinking Liberally: Indianapolis! Hoosier liberals & others fed up with the state of things, come on down tonight to the Union Jack in Broadripple. 7pm-whenever.
