A Touch of History
This will mostly contain history stuff.
Bits 'N Bobs
* Bush is sending troops in to attack Pakistan. Why is this not major news? We just invaded another country.

* Thank to [info]lurkitty for finding this Cavett editorial: http://cavett.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/12/experience-101/index.html

*Emo Tut: http://www.theonion.com/content/opinion/hey_where_did_all_my_stuff_go

*Italy is rounding up Roma, including children on the grounds "that they are thieves." Are patches and armbands next? Camps maybe? So apparently discriminating against them is okay. "The court of cassation decided this did not show Tosi was a racist, but that he had "a deep aversion [to Roma] that was not determined by the Gypsy nature of the people discriminated against, but by the fact that all the Gypsies were thieves". His dislike of them was "not therefore based on a notion of superiority or racial hatred, but on racial prejudice". The judges scrapped the two-month jail sentences and ordered that the case be reheard." http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/01/italy

*They are remaking The Prisoner. Why?
