Ah Friday!

Light blogging this evening. Base10 is going out to dinner with Mrs. Base10 in Astoria this evening for sort of a pre-pre-Valentine's Day repast. Plus, work was actually well kind of good today.

For you die hards, in the spirit of Eason Jordan, here's a link to IMAO where Frank J. lists his Top Ten Reasons the Military is Targetting Journalists.

On the flawed theory that nuclear weapons can replace food for its starving population, in a continuing show of brinksmanship, North Korea has ruled out six-party talks over its nuclear program. North Korea is right. Six-party talks were getting nowhere. Base10 suggests referring the matter to the United Nations so we can take a few more years to come to an agreement. Stick to your guns Mr. President. This is just another example of that "whacky" North Korean diplomacy combined with the disinclination of China, Russia, Japan, and South Korea to pony up enough of their own resources. They'll get the message eventually. But let's get one of those MAOB's ready, just in case.

Here's a selection of Lynne Stewart Headlines (emphasis added):

The Bad:

Civil Rights Lawyer Lynne Stewart Vows To Appeal Her Conviction - NY1

Firebrand N.Y. Civil Rights Lawyer Lynne Stewart Will Appeal Conviction for Aiding Terrorists - ABC News

Stewart's Case Log: Revolutionaries, Hit Men, the Poor and the Obscure - NY Times

Civil Rights Lawyer Is Convicted of Aiding Terrorists - NY Times

Civil rights attorney convicted in terror trial - CNN

The Better:

STEWART: I'M A MARTYR - NY Post

TERROR'S HANDMAIDEN - NY Post

Clearly the Best:

JURY NAILS TERROR TRAITOR - NY Post

One can only hope that Lynne Stewart lives long enough to suffer a year in jail for every victim of Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman and his murderous followers. Then again, the alternative isn't so bad either.

Well, onto dinner. Tomorrow various things may happen (much like any day) but I may do some photo blogging in the morning. TTFN.
