rosalind commented on the blog post Obama’s Deluded Remarks Ignore His Role in Keeping Prisoners at Guantanamo
thanks for this Kevin. the rhetoric on this one is crucial. for too long the Admin has gotten away with using the phrase “cleared for transfer” which many people interpret as “cleared for transfer…to a U.S. based prison”.

rosalind commented on the blog post Evidence Al Qaeda ‘Received’ Information Published by WikiLeaks to Be Allowed During Bradley Manning’s Trial
the Defense should ask “John Doe” if he had any communication with the “Zero Dark Thirty” filmmakers. oh wait, disseminating Seal sources & methods to Al Qaeda via a commercial for profit film is a “good” leak.
keep forgetting.

most new bands are releasing their music via digital downloads, through sites like bandcamp. bands with actual record deals are an increasingly small part of the recorded music pie. i was just in Amoeba today and asked at the Info Desk about two new artists i was looking for – turns out both have no [...]

rosalind commented on the diary post A Little Fundraising Advice for LA Archbishop Gomez by Peterr.
our former mayor Richard Riordan and the entire City Gov’t – from the D.A. to the LAPD – need to step up and atone for their sins in enabling Priests to commit their sexual crimes unabated for decades. the morally repugnant “deference” afforded the Church’s every obstructive move allowed so many more lives to be destroyed.
