Sayeth the New York Times:
The Obama administration has taken the extraordinary step of authorizing the targeted killing of an American citizen.

Martyr for Mohammed or Justice? (Or both?)
Glenn Greenwald lays it out over at Slate: Confirmed: Obama authorizes assassination of U.S. citizen.
No trial. Not even a military tribunal. Not even a, “Hey, aren’t you …?” Just shoot.

Young capitalism gets right to it. No fussing around. No bourgeois middle men, no polite hypocrisy — just unvarnished body for stuff.

Over on this blog, I pointed out a bug in some code. Stupid blogger won’t let me format a better version, so I’ll post it here:
try:
import readline
except ImportError:
pass
else:
import rlcompleter
import os.path
import atexit
class irlcompleter(rlcompleter.Completer):
def complete(self, text, state):
if text == "":
readline.insert_text('\t')
return None
else:
return rlcompleter.Completer.complete(self,text,state)
readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
readline.set_completer(irlcompleter().complete)
# Restore our command-line history, and save it when Python exits.
history_file = os.path.expanduser("~/.pyhistory")
if os.path.exists(history_file):
readline.read_history_file(history_file)
def save_hist():
import readline
readline.write_history_file(history_file)
atexit.register(save_hist)
# Clean up the namespace.
del readline
del os.path
del atexit
