Apropos of books, I know this is not the book club, but this is a really good book - The in-between world of Vikram Lall. It's about an Indian/African guy growing up in Kenya in the 50s (interesting times) who becomes disillusioned and moves to Canada. Also about feeling like you are part of many and not really part of any culture. I liked it a lot. Just beat Margaret Atwood and others for the Giller Prize.

Montecore,

I want you to know that although on Saturday or Sunday I did see a stuffed replica of you with red splatters all over it, I was not involved in what I'm sure was some kind of sick Halloween costume making light of your behavior and the injuries of your beloved Roy. On behalf of whoever came up with such a costume, I apologize to you and all other white tigers.

I hope you and your human are doing as well as can be expected and that you are not slated for execution. I'm sure the fact that the replica was on a dumpster is no indication that your dead body is doomed to the same fate in the near future.

Perhaps. Indeed. Maybe I will be so hopped up, no pun intended, from my purchase that the ice wine will be on me. Maybe.

One favour though, please don't tell PLF, I don't want him crashing this party.

I obviously know nothing about this particular show. However, my past research indicates that depictions of human copulation in most instances is better left to the professionals. And do we want our most talented amateurs going pro so close to an Olympics year?

Speaking of speaker wire, where is Mr. Man?
I've heard he is a busy working and traveling guy right now. And I think we either bored him or scared him off. Not sure which.

So some dude in the PNW pled guilty today to 48 murders in exchange for the prosecutor's promise to forego the death penalty. I repeat: forty-eight murders. All women.

Maybe this is for the PB,* but does anyone else wonder about the dubious morality of vowing to seek the death penalty up to the moment the defendant pleads guilty?

Doesn't it create a troubling incentive for you to waive your right to a jury trial on innocence or guilt in order to save your life?

And doesn't it cheapen the profound difference between death and LWOP if the state's willing to waive death in order to avoid the expense of a trial?

*This is the kind of legal policy discussion we used to have on the Big Board, FWIW.
