…for the defenders of child rape in Hollywood. I don’t think they have any concept of how much this kind of thing costs them at the box office.

The Art Continues
Over at Iowahawk’s place. I think that’s the best $33.18 he’s ever invested. On the (dubious) assumption that he ever actually pays, of course. It’s a nice demonstration of the leverage that prizes can provide.
Don’t Panic!
It’s only a calendar.
Surrogates
Alan Boyle has a story on what looks to be a thought-provoking new movie.

…over at Lileks’ place. His requirements verification process left something to be desired.
The Future Of Twitter

Wisdom
…from Lileks:
Love and laughter are like water; you need them to live. And they run through your fingers no matter how tightly you cup your hands.

A commenter over at Matt Welch’s post notes something that I neglected to earlier, on the timing:
They didn’t call the cops for something like 10 hours.
More precisely, Ted Kennedy didn’t tell the cops about driving his car into the water until after he personally saw that Ms. Kopechne’s body had been discovered in his car.
Gee, isn’t that an interesting sequence?
