Colorization Revisited

Colorization has not entirely disappeared from the literature, but it is no longer a central focus of anyone's attention.[2] It is sometimes mentioned in passing as an illustration or analogy to some other issue.[3] Although there is an occasional commercial flare-up on the issue,[4] it also is recognized as an uncontroversial artistic technique when practiced by the artist on his or her own work.[5] Even though it remains a popular discussion topic in classrooms, it is not included in most aesthetics textbooks.[6] The search engine Google.com turns up a few recent essays on colorization, but they seem mainly to be student term papers that rehash the old debates,[7] on-line encyclopedia articles,[8] or essays by non-philosophers[9] which do not move us beyond the debate of circa 1995.

Most Wanted List

A very interesting article on the meaning of the word "terrorist" and who is the most wanted terrorist on the list.

The Most Wanted List: International Terrorism

On February 13, Imad Moughniyeh, a senior commander of Hizbollah, was assassinated in Damascus. "The world is a better place without this man in it," State Department spokesperson Sean McCormack said: "one way or the other he was brought to justice." Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell added that Moughniyeh has been "responsible for more deaths of Americans and Israelis than any other terrorist with the exception of Osama bin Laden."

Joy was unconstrained in Israel too, as "one of the U.S. and Israel's most wanted men" was brought to justice, the London Financial Times reported. Under the heading, "A militant wanted the world over," an accompanying story reported that he was "superseded on the most-wanted list by Osama bin Laden" after 9/11 and so ranked only second among "the most wanted militants in the world."

The terminology is accurate enough, according to the rules of Anglo-American discourse, which defines "the world" as the political class in Washington and London (and whoever happens to agree with them on specific matters). It is common, for example, to read that "the world" fully supported George Bush when he ordered the bombing of Afghanistan. That may be true of "the world," but hardly of the world, as revealed in an international Gallup Poll after the bombing was announced. Global support was slight. In Latin America, which has some experience with U.S. behavior, support ranged from 2% in Mexico to 16% in Panama, and that support was conditional upon the culprits being identified (they still weren't eight months later, the FBI reported), and civilian targets being spared (they were attacked at once). There was an overwhelming preference in the world for diplomatic/judicial measures, rejected out of hand by "the world."

Fuck these Republicrats

He is the one and only who has given Democratic ideals and principles the respect they deserved... and he is getting challenged by one of his own.

Presidential Run Done, Kucinich Is Fighting to Keep Seat in House

Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio) is back out on the campaign trail, where he always seems to be, hustling for votes in Tuesday's crucial Democratic primary.

But he is no longer running for president or supporting one of the remaining contenders. For the first time since he was elected to Congress in 1996, Kucinich is battling to keep his seat.

The iconic antiwar liberal, whose legislative efforts include proposing a Department of Peace and introducing articles of impeachment against Vice President Cheney, is facing his first serious challenge from fellow Democrats in his Cleveland-based district.

His quadrennial long-shot bids for the White House have shaped a quirky but largely beloved image for the diminutive Kucinich at home and on Capitol Hill. But those very attributes have been turned against the six-term congressman.

Jet Lagged

It's 6:18 a.m. here in Paris. I have been up since 2:30 a.m. I am right awake seating in the dark and blogging shit and reading about jet lag. At least I don't have estrogen to make matters worst!

Notes to Iberia Airlines

Some points that Iberia Airlines should take into consideration:

1. You must dim the lights at take off and throughout the flight. Having ALL the lights on during half the flights is obnoxious.

2. Same thing with the music. It is OK to have some music during the boarding, but not after. If someone wants music, they can listen to it using their headphones. I cannot care less about instrumental music throughout the flight.

3. If you speak in Spanish for 15 minutes and then the translation in English is but two sentences, I am bound to think that I am missing some important information.

5. Keeping the temperature inside the cabin at 85 Degrees F is inhumane.

6. Please, you must come around at least once and see if I have any waste or trash to throw away. The seat pocket in front can only hold that much, after which things start falling on the floor and after some time I stop picking them up.

7. Do not take those who say "Landing is a controlled crash" too literally. One can also land a plane gently.

8. Keep smiling. Your good humor and attitude and good disposition was awesome!

Right on!

Ill. Abortion Notification Law Blocked

A state law requiring parental notification before a minor can get an abortion will remain on hold, a federal judge ruled, the latest in decades of complex legal wrangling.

Abortion rights groups on Saturday praised the decision, saying it could end chances for the measure to take effect. Proponents of the law said they were disappointed, and the attorney general's spokeswoman said the state would consider an appeal.

The Parental Notice of Abortion Act was passed in 1984 and updated in 1995 but never enforced because the Illinois Supreme Court refused to issue rules spelling out how judges should handle appeals of the notification requirement. A federal court held that the law could not take effect without the rules in place. In 2006, the Supreme Court unexpectedly adopted the necessary rules.

In a decision entered Friday, U.S. District Judge David H. Coar rejected a request from Attorney General Lisa Madigan that the federal court dissolve the order that put the law on hold.

Coar said the law still fails to give a teenager workable judicial options to notify her parents, calling parts of the statute "contradictory and incomplete."
