May 17, 2012 MISCELLANY!
May. 17th, 2012 06:46 am- Judge halts indefinite detention of Americans on, among other things, First and Fifth Amendment grounds. The judge also rejected the stupid argument that enjoining this law would put an unconstitutional barrier on the President's absolute power.
- Minority births now outpace white births. Cue hysteria in three, two...
- Oh look, Israel is the hot issue in Egypt's Presidential election. Do note: the secular left that led the revolution doesn't like the occupation tactics of Israel any more than the Islamic parties do.
- Today's word is "Grexit," meaning, the quick abandonment of the Euro by Greece. More on this here. Yes, this will hurt the US economy, it will cause the stock market to dive, and it could determine the election. Let's see if Mittens really has solutions here.
- In the 80s, it was fighting for your right to party. In this decade, it's fighting for your right to locally produced pork, like this guy did. One has slightly more merit than the other.
