IgNobel Prizes
Well, the 2005 IgNobel prizes have been awarded. Some of them are rather disturbing.
Written by a practitioner of mathematics, philosophy, taiji, gluten-free cooking, chant, meditation, gardening, and renovation, with no particular end in mind. Were there an end, it would come too soon, and the Path would cease to Wander.

Why would the president veto this?
"In its statement on the veto threat, the White House said the measure would 'restrict the president's authority to protect Americans effectively from terrorist attack and bringing terrorists to justice.'"
?
I don't quite follow that. Torturing prisoners will protect America from terrorists? I agree with Sen. McCain. We are better than that.
Sorry, I left that comment on the wrong post. I've been up since 4am. Thing are getting pretty surreal.
:-)
First, I agree. The only possible caveat is the argument that torture is necessary to gain information from captured terrorists. However, such information is automatically suspect.
Second...has the furniture started shifting slightly in the corner of your vision? That's when I know I really need sleep.
Shifting? No. I'm pretty sure it was jitterbugging.
Lol... That's probably a bad sign.
