Monday Miscellany!

• The destruction of Syria's WMDs has begun, meaning that the excuse for that particular war is now over.


• Iran is asking the United States to make them a real offer, one that shows the US means business, on uranium enrichment, before the next meeting. Ball's in Obama's court.


• SCOTUS has thrown out Virginia's blatantly unconstitutional anti-sodomy law. Again. If that mendacious, disingenuous, Christian supremacist asshole Ken Cuccinelli is really serious about protecting kids from sexual predators, how about changing the law to make it a felony to have sex with someone under the age of 18 in Virginia? Instead of trying to revive a law meant to beat up on gays and lesbians? This seems, you know, obvious.


• A great, and sobering, interview with Malala Yousafzai, here. And even in this story, there's a lot of gray.


• skeletoncrew is participating in the Portland Open Studios Tour, this weekend (October 12-13) and next (October 19-20). Your tour guide is your ticket, so get your tour guides here!

Iran

Obama's offer to Iran could even include a red line, because we know how credible Obama's red lines are.
