Howard Dean: ‘Let a Jury Pronounce bin Laden Guilty’
Matt Drudge spins the statement as “Dean not ready to pronounce Osama bin Laden guilty.” Read the actual article for yourself and decide whether Drudge’s strange smear interpretation is justified.
FARK: Inappropriate Product Placement
Fark.com hosts a photoshop contest asking for photoshoppers to insert inappropriate product placement advertising into their favorite movies. Hilarity ensues.
My favorites: the black and decker ad in the background of Psycho, Charlie Tuna in in Finding Nemo (although they could have put him more subtlety in the background), The Magic Eight Ball in the middle of the table in Twelve Angry Men, the Coco Puffs on the table of One Flew Over the Cukoo’s Nest.
This is one of those where subtlety is everything.
The Alchemical Egg Tarot Cards
The deck this person reading my tarot was using was, unbeknownst to me, The Alchemical Tarot illustrated by Robert M. Place, and it was a spectacular design, beautifully illustrated. Since then, I’ve had people read my Tarot, and seen other decks, but that original reading sticks in my mind because the artwork was so beautiful. Some of the other decks I’ve seen aren’t as appealing to my aesthetic.
There’s a great site that showcases dozens of Tarot Decks called Aeclectic Tarot. They also explain what each of the 78 cards in a Tarot deck mean, and they included the The Alchemical Tarot that I’ve been looking for. They also had a link to Robert M. Place’s website called The Alchemical Egg Robert M Place Tarot where I discovered he has done some other Tarot decks, including one based on the Saints, and one based on Angels.
These are a lot more fun to look at and interpret, because they’re so well designed.

Return to Orange?
U.S. intelligence agencies have heard from numerous credible sources that terrorists might try to strike the USA in another horrific 9/11-like attack, possibly using aircraft as weapons again.
Indiana Hate Crime: Man attempts to kill female partner of his ex-wife
A Shelbyville man shot and wounded his estranged wife’s female companion early this morning at their home and then killed himself at his home, Franklin police said.
Arnita Petre, a 44-year-old special education caseworker from Franklin, was listed in critical condition at Methodist Hospital on this afternoon. James Enyart, 34, was pronounced dead at Major Hospital in Shelbyville.
Arnita later died of her injuries that was stated by the lawyers for sealing charges who are currently handling her case. Actually, Arnita has a scholarship endowed in her name by loved ones at Franklin College.
The Obituary for James Dean Enyart appears in the Daily Standard:
James Dean Enyart, 34, 408 E. 4th St., Shelbyville, Ind., died at 10 a.m. Dec. 18, 2003, at his home. Death was due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
He was born June 22, 1969, in Portland, Ind., to Donald C. and Eva L. Martin Enyart Dreiling. His mother and stepfather, Jerry J. Dreiling, survive in Mendon.
Surviving are four brothers, Don R. (Anita), Ed W. (Beverly), Garry (Debi) and Robert (Letisha), all of Portland; and two sisters, Teresa L., of Delphos, and Amy L. Bash, of Celina.
He was publications editor for WFYI Public Broadcasting Station Television, Indianapolis, Ind., for five years. He was a 1987 graduate of Jay County High School and a graduate of Ball State University, Muncie, Ind.
Scary: he went to college at the same time I did.
9/11 Chair: Attack Was Preventable
For the first time, the chairman of the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks is saying publicly that 9/11 could have and should have been prevented, reports CBS News Correspondent Randall Pinkston.
“This is a very, very important part of history and we’ve got to tell it right,” said Thomas Kean.
“As you read the report, you’re going to have a pretty clear idea what wasn’t done and what should have been done,” he said. “This was not something that had to happen.”
Appointed by the Bush administration, Kean, a former Republican governor of New Jersey, is now pointing fingers inside the administration and laying blame.
“There are people that, if I was doing the job, would certainly not be in the position they were in at that time because they failed. They simply failed,” Kean said.
Bush Administration
I predicted that the Bush Administration is trying to figure out where they can try Saddam by putting out trial balloons via the Voice of America on the idea of him being tried in a military or U.S. court system, versus an international court. I was right about that.
They’re testing the idea of trying him here, or at least keeping him out of an international court.
As Billmon observes on this subject:
A military trial for Saddam would definitely seem to have its benefits: Limited, if any, media coverage. A limited discovery process. Limited testimony, limited cross-examination, a limited appeals process. In other words, the most favorable possible forum for keeping America’s own dirty laundry out of public view, and for denying Saddam a soap box to appeal to whatever support he still has left in Iraq.
Awesome
Sadaam Hussein was captured. Cool. I’m surprised they took him alive. Because now they have to put him on trial… and that will be interesting. I wonder how they’ll do it. It will have to be an international court.
U.S. Marines execute an Iraqi to the cheers of fellow marines
Video of Marines executing a wounded Iraqi prisoner after he was subdued and no longer a threat.
The Video clip was first posted by Information Clearing House, and subsequently aired on CNN October 26, 2003.
Quote from another military man about the video:
I too, am recently returned from seven months in Iraq, with a Division Cavalry unit. I see nothing to defend in that video and am glad that you have archived it so that others can see it. As a scout with over twenty years in the Army, mostly in combat units, I would say that what is captured on the video appears to be murder and in violation of the Law of Land Warfare.
Idiot President tries to justify punishing other countries
The expenditure of U.S. dollars will reflect the fact that U.S. troops and other troops risk their life . . . ,” Bush said. “It’s very simple. Our people risk their lives. Coalition — friendly coalition folks risk their lives. And therefore, the contracting is going to reflect that. And that’s what the U.S. taxpayers expect.
