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.

Mall Girls

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

We humans . . . lie at the heart of a great web of space and time whose threads are connected according to laws that dwell in our minds.

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
