Nashville Banner reporter Steven Hale, describing how prison officials kept drawing the curtain to hide how badly they were botching this: “A lot of this execution — or attempted execution, whatever it was — happened when we could not see what was going on.”

Trump is so crazy that even Fox News is showing solidarity with the rest of the news media against his media ban.

Tonight, Jewish New Yorkers mark the start of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. It is the peak of the Yamim Noraim, the Days of Awe, and an opportunity for profound reflection.
 
For those fasting — tzom kal, may your fast be easy and meaningful. 
 
And to all who observe, G'mar chatimah tovah. May you be sealed in the Book of Life for a good year to come.

this is a bit of an obsession of mine especially here in charlottesville. the cost of commercial real estate is prohibitive if you want to experiment and the city seems categorically opposed to small lots and small units that could allow people to start businesses without a huge capital investment

I sometimes don't think Americans get how lucky we have been over and over in avoiding psychotic catastrophe. The only reason the Gingrich/Clinton plan to privatize social security and toss like 15% of the federal budget into tech stocks two years before the dotcom bubble burst was Monica Lewinksy.

I'm old enough to remember when this all literally happened to Obama during the primary.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Friday was forced to denounce inflammatory remarks made by his pastor, who has railed against the United States and accused its leaders of bringing on the September 11 attacks by spreading terrorism.

Television networks have aired footage of his pastor's sermons likening the Democratic frontrunner to Jesus and declaring: "God damn America." In the sermons, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who presided over Obama's marriage and provided the title of his book "Audacity of Hope", condemns what he describes as a systemic effort to keep black people in poverty.
