Trial of Bradley Manning
It’s concerning that much of the dissent in regards to this case is centered on Manning having done nothing legally wrong. The fact is that he did illegally release information. He did so knowingly and spoke of accepting the consequences. Regardless of how you view his actions, he seems to believe he was doing the right thing. Far more concerning in this case is the extended solitary...

Early Heathen Christmas
My lady and I decided to exchange gifts early for our first Christmas. We’re heathens, ya see, so we decided we wanted to do things on our own schedule. Lots of thoughtful gifts and nice surprises. I got my lady a large standing mirror jewelery armoire, some really awesome Edison-style lightbulbs, a great app for her Mac, a Zippo hand-warmer, and a Hans Rosling (statistician) print. ...

gingercomplex: I don’t know about everyone else, but I am subscribed to no less than 30 websites news letters. Most of these are online retailers, or stores I frequent when I make it out of the house for a shopping trip.

This write-up from the Thanksgiving food issue of The New Yorker was spectacular.  I saved it for last and was I ever glad.  I urge any coffee lover to go to their local library for the magazine archives if they missed it. Also, the cover is pretty much what my Thanksgiving looked like this week.  I have, in the past, preferred Thanksgiving to Christmas but this year, I can’t wait for a...
