- update It's good. I burned the first batch of onions, garlic and ginger, but I put in a bit of white wine vinegar and it added a smoky flavor that nicely complements the peppers. I'm about to make a dish with the misleadingly-simple name "Pork with Peppers and Potatoes" from "The Food of India". It's got 26 ingredients and I'm only skipping one, a "pinch of asafoetida" — a pungent, sulfurous spice that can be used in place of garlic and onion if it's well-fried. |

- A boy from Ghana who was detained by the government for three years after he arrived alone and almost penniless in the United States has lost his battle to stay here. A federal appeals court refused earlier this month to reconsider a ruling that clears the way for Julian Yeboah, now age 13, to be deported at any time. |

- Wooo boy, that was fun. To everyone who wondered where the hell we've been the past few weeks, thanks for waiting and hanging in there. Bruce recently moved to another area, which, as is typical for such an operation, resulted in all manner of havoc. Suffice to say, the end result was that the servers weren't hooked up to the new lines like they were supposed to be, and SBC ended up going down. Now, as a convenient Christmas present, we're back online and better than ever With a vastly improved level of bandwith at our disposal, expect better site performance and additional content for the future. |

- Steven Mikulan at LA Weekly - Coffee, Tea or Handcuffs? - another homeland gestapo story that makes you want to make good use of the local lamp posts. I sent the following letter to the editor: [claire] Steven Mikulan's "Open City" column for December 19-25, entitled "Coffee, Tea or Handcuffs" told the story of Sue Smethurst's mistreatment by America's new Gestapo. I have just a few words for the DHS goons responsible. |

- A vous gens du monde Il est certes des guerres qui déchirent les coeurs des hommes, des armes qui en mordent les chairs, du sang pour venir se mêler aux larmes, autant de plaies qui meurtrissent profondément les regards qui aiment la vie ... Il est certes de ces vies que mon coeur a peine à voir s'abîmer non loin de moi, à une main tendue près, de ces vies qui ne trouvent ni le sou ni le sourire pour se déposer dans la coupe que forment leurs doigts suppliants ... Il est certes des hommes qui porteront en ces jours des fardeaux plus lourds que le poids des ans, qui se verront brisé et les eaux et l'esprit par ceux qui n'aiment en la vie plus que ce qui épargne une mort lente ... Il est certes des mots qui dessinent chaque jour entre nous les contours du conflit, des reproches, des blessures à l'amitié et à l'amour, des cris qui brisent les fenêtres de nos âmes et de nos coeurs ... Il est certes tant d'intolérance, de mensonges, de regrets, de torts, d'inattentions, de peines, de maux, de cruauté, d'hypocrisie, de manipulation, d'exploitation, de violence, de désillusions, de vies molestées, brisées, torturées par le quotidien, que bien des êtres perdent le sens, la valeur, l'envie de leur existence ... |
