I'm pretty sure my father didn't believe that death was inevitable, at least not in his case. Three years ago today he was proved wrong, although there was something in his way of going that suggests a combination of will, petulance, and despair, rather than the sheer force of biological imperative. My parents were married in February and a couple of weeks later I was conceived (they were both 26, ancient for that generation, and anxious to get a move on). What would have been my mother's 83rd birthday was Saturday, and today is the anniversary of Dad's death. In the shortest month of the year.

From
Brian Beutler:
The Senate just voted the Intelligence authorization conference package out of the Senate. It included a provision banning the use of waterboarding by universalizing the interrogation tactics in the Army Field Manual. I'm still not exactly sure why most Republicans voted to invoke cloture on the package, but they did. And when it came to the floor, the final tally was 51-45. One of those 45 was the Sultan of Straight Talk, John McCain.
Just so we're clear: McCain was okay with the idea of our guys using waterboarding.

This is being created on an
XO computer. I did the Give 1, Get 1 thing because I was curious and because it's such a good idea. It's really quite an amazing little device, and I do mean little - the keyboard is made for much smaller hands than my big paws. But it can do all sorts of wonderful things - my neighbor's kids lined up to get their hands on it. With Intel leaving the organization, and continuing to go head to head with the device in targeted countries, who knows what its future will be. But even as a proof of concept that makes a new marketplace emerge where there once was only apathy and neglect, this little box is a stunning success.

This is Charlie:

A picture of a coyote

Charlie is a coyote who is living, at least for the moment, with a human and a cat. He was orphaned at around 10 days old, and the human took him in. He's adorable. Read more about him (and buy copies of the beautiful pictures) at
The Daily Coyote.
