i officially wish i lived in the UK.

ok, ok, maybe that is going too far. I do appreciate our ease of access to and predilection for orthodontia (U-S-A!U-S-A!U-S-A!) and cannot deal with the idea of baked beans as a breakfast food. but I do wish I had access to that sweet sweet British TV, so I could watch the new Will Arnett/David Cross comedy The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, because it looks awesome.

thanksgiving prayer

Dearest Reader,

This is our last post until after Thanksgiving.

Burroughs has a very special place in our heart. We, for 3, will be thankful for everything we have, especially after such a rough year for so many, but we refuse to ignore where the America we love comes up short.

The place where the idea and reality of the US meet is an intersection of miracle and tragedy. So, for the rest of the week we'll be thankful for Billy Burroughs and the other true free thinkers; the miracle part. And then, after we purge/process our Thursday meal and misc. we will work on the rest.

Now, let's go eat some turkey, drink some beer, watch some football, and love some family (both real and virtual).

xoxo,

OMGWLB

merde.

France is in, but they got there on a goal made with 2 players offside and a possible handball. As a soccer fan, especially as a team france fan, I have to say this sucks. I was really hoping les bleus would make a strong showing in south africa next year. I don't think they'll go as deep as '06, but was looking forward to seeing them play clean and put the stank of the headbutt behind them. And now there is this, and this very well may be a maradona. Unforts, I think Team France is going to play 2010 in the shadow of their 2 great talents' fail moments.

Ca me fait chier.

Geebus, G. Gordon Liddy is Both Ancient and Nutty

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

Insane animated corpse/watergate conspirator G Gordon Liddy is one of those nutty nuts that believes our president is an ILLEGAL ALIEN from KENYA, an assertion so preposterous that even windbag Chris Matthews looks sane rebutting it. I must say, I have love in my heart for the character G Gordon plays on radio, but he clearly out of his depth and not truly convinced of the outlier position he has taken on his show. Watch this sad video of an old man whose radio alter ego says things that he does not believe!

speaking of censorship . . .

yep. my blog is up, again. this time it is at caddycensored.blogspot.com

AND, i fully intend to bring the "we're" back to this blog, too, to stop Stella's inadvertent lying ways due to all of us being deadbeats and not posting.

Hands, or paws, down the cutest monkey baby in the whole world was born in Sydney. Her name is Elke, she is a Francois Leaf Monkey, and she will be forever seared into your brain as having the cutest monkey face that ever monkey faced ever.

basically the cutest all around video you have ever watched. ever.

alexander ovechkin is simply amazing

A goal from last night's Caps/Montreal game, Ovechkin's 42nd of the season and the league's best record to date.

Have you read Roger Federer as Religious Experience by David Foster Wallace? No? Well do it. Today. Because it is a gorgeous piece of prose. Because it is heartbreaking in light of Foster Wallace's recent suicide. Because everything he says about Federer's physical genius can be said about the Washington Capital's Alexander Ovechkin.

Yes, Virginia, the 4th amendement DOES matter.

My hometown rag and the New York Times both ran scary stories this weekend about the results of decades of attempts to chip away at the 4th amendment. The Times ran a piece on Saturday about the impact of the most recent Supreme Court rulings on the so-called 'exclusionary rule'. This is the rule of evidence that prohibits information and materials obtained by police behaving badly from being used against criminal defendants. Most recently the SC's 5-4 decision in Herring v. US, which found that evidence obtained through police "carelessness" need not be suppressed. At first glance, this may seem like imminently practical way to deal with the frustrating "off on a technicality" cases, but as Adam Liptak, writing for the points out when the decision is read broadly it can lead to some really scary abuses, to whit:

In one of the first trial court decisions to interpret Herring, a federal judge in New Jersey took the broader view, refusing to suppress evidence obtained from computer hard drives under a search warrant based on false information supplied by a Secret Service agent. The agent had told the judge that DVDs found during an earlier search contained child pornography.

This was false: other law enforcement officials had reviewed the DVDs and had found no child pornography. The agent, who was leading the investigation, testified that he did not know of that review when he made his statement.

So, basically, law enforcement can lie to maintain a warrant and then keep whatever they find as a result of the search.

The logic behind rolling back or limiting the exclusionary rule is that law enforcement has become increasingly professional so that the police in effect police themselves and that criminal cases should not suffer because of accidental error. The problem that the Washington Post Magazine's cover article illustrates is that is not necessarily true. A SWAT team broke down Cheye and Trinity Calvo's door and slaughtered their two mild mannered black labs while executing a warrant. There was ample evidence that the mayor and his wife were not a pair of drug dealers and that it was pretty clear they had nothing to do with the box of dope dropped on their doorstep. Despite the fact the police appeared to have done zero research on their targets and executed a standard warrant in a no knock fashion with a heavily armed paramilitary squad had the police found anything incriminating it may well have been ruled admissible in court.  The scariest part is that we know and care about this case because the Calvos are innocent, educated, and connected.  Most often the victims of egregious abuses like these are not all, if any, of those things, but that we have allowed the war on drugs to extend this far impacts us all.  

If you don't have time for the article...
