Meanderings
In Britain, a marriage was annulled after the partners discovered they were twins seperated at birth. That would have to rate among the all-time most uncomfortable discoveries.
I'm a tad late to the story, but one woman in Mexico delivered her own baby -- by caesarian. There's only one word to describe that: wow.
Newsbusters has a write-up on a favorite "Republican" of the New York Times. He's managed to get an average of four letters a year published over the last five years by claiming to be a life-long Republican and then proceeding to bash Bush or make some other typical liberal point.
The Supreme Court will be ruling on the death penalty for child rape. It ruled that the death penalty was "cruel and unusual" for rape of an adult in 1977. The current court only has one member remaining from that time (Stevens). Given the current makeup of the Court, I don't think the death penalty will stand in this case. I mean, it looks like they're seriously considering whether lethal injection is "cruel and unusual" so it seems likely that, if the death penalty stands, they'll only allow a narrow group to be subject to it.
Star Trek geeks may remember Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine on the Voyager series. Well, she also played a role in the rise of Barack Obama. Now, I certainly won't hold this against her, given the details involved, and she wasn't the one who brought them into the 2004 campaign (as I recall from news broadcasts then, she played them down somewhat, and, if she wasn't supportive of her ex-husband's campaign, at least was not hostile to it). Still, it's just one of those interesting little things.
A voter being used as a poster-old-woman by opponents of the voter ID law in Indiana is registered in two states. She makes the point of the law's supporters for them.
Kucinich is asking for a recount in New Hampshire because he's apparently worried about the electoral integrity there. Someone has been drinking a bit too much of the Koolaid over the last eight years.
Algebraic surfaces.
