Are people really excited about this whole triplet digit day thing? Yes, apparently. For some people this is a day to be regaled with significant remembrance. For others, it’s yet another day drinking coffee and pretending to sit at your desk and work. Yay! for democracy, or something like that. Now then, who are the people all hopped up on numerology today. Continue reading
In an opinion by Judge Posner (he of the “let’s sell our organs and babies!” camp and probable #1 reason why he’ll never be on the US Supreme Court), the 7th Circuit yesterday released an opinion invalidating Illinois’s law forbidding a person from carrying a loaded gun in public, finding Illinois’s complete ban on concealed-carry permits to be unconstitutional under the 2nd Amendment.

Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada: New China
It’s a frigid October afternoon. I’m walking towards a Chinese restaurant suggested by Lonely Planet.
