Man bites dog.

To make the corgi more palatable, it was mixed with apple, onion and seasoning, turned into meat balls, and served with salad.

"I ate three lumps of it. But I spat two of them out, so I really ate one and a half of them," McGowan said.

Starting the day with a smile

From Yahoo News

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The idea of executing child rapists, even when there in no loss of life, is making headway in the United States.

The Louisiana Supreme Court last week upheld the death sentence for a pedophile, and the governor of Texas is soon to sign into law legislation to that effect.

In 1995, Louisiana was the first state to adopt legislation authorizing the death penalty for child rapists.

(For some reason, the Yahoo article identifies one man as a 42 year old Patrick Kennedy. And then links to the biography and voting record of a certain 40 year old Patrick Kennedy, Rhode Island Democrat Representative. That's just plain wrong.)



The links have been yanked.

Memorial day.

The fourth stanza of 'For the Fallen' is also known as The Ode.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)
