Will the insanity ever end? The government filed a brief that called for "declared enemy combatants in the war on terrorism have no right to counsel and can be held indefinately". So the government decides you're a terrorist (for whatever reason based on any evidence they feel is sufficient) and now you can be locked up for as long as they want with no trial, no court case, no nothing. Sure I'm all for fighting terrorism, but it is a bit worrying when your government can throw you in jail on a whim without any chance of appeal or review.

In a slightly related note, if you by chance happen to be an evil overlord, this list of things to do should come up quite helpful. Also take a look at MissileBases.com for all your underground headquarter needs. And the really cool thing is that you can really actually buy those things. They'd make one heck of a tornado shelter.

Hooray for Pay Day!

Ann Landers died yesterday, which came as a shock to most people since it was from cancer. I disagreed with her quite a bit on some issues, and thought she was crazy on others, but she did have an interesting column.
