Tom Hayden on the Honduran prison fire.

More links and things soon come. I’m just recovering from filing the final draft of the book, and getting ready for Newark.

Why did I get so much joy out of this article on Princeton student Katherine L. Milkman doing the numbers on the editors of the New Yorker fiction section? And why did the blandness of the editors’ comments on her research–which found male writers were chosen at 57-70%, and the story characters were overwhelmingly New York based–not surprise? Beats the hell out of me.

Adam Hochschild in a brilliant piece on the Haitian Revolution, whose parallels to Iraq are of course manifold.

THERE IS JUSTICE

After 1:43 minutes of fluff and commercials, the all-too-brief 1 and a half-minute reunion of the Three Divas, and the happy 10-second return of Camille Velasco, we got to the good part.

Fantasia deserved it. Why not go out on a limb and call her victory version of “I Believe” one of the most moving wartime musical performances in pop history? I mean, why not?

PROFITING FROM TORTURE

Meet the Titan Corporation, apparent supplier of Any Ghraib torturers.

One of the more interesting–and incredibly underreported–angles about the prison torture scandal has been the role of corporate mercenaries. Apparently, they’ve been given sweeping legal immunity by Bremer. War makes new forms of corporate welfare possible.

+++ Good reading:

Philip Sherburne on the legacy of “Don’Ask Don’t Tell” and Abu Ghraib.

Linda Burnham on gender, domination, and Abu Ghraib.

Missed most of the Idol finale for a National Hip-Hop Political Convention conference call. I mean, Fantasia Barrino is already your next American Idol.

I object to having Fantasia sing “Summertime” for the 950th time and not do it better. I object to both Paul Anka and Diana DeGarmo too. (Both of whom are still not Asian or Filipino yall.) But I guess it wouldn’t be American otherwise. I doubt next year will top this one…

Christopher Porter is killing it with his jazz-gone-ska series. A must-hear.

PRETEND IT WAS NEVER THERE

This is how Americans deal with fuckups. (Read closely for bonus ironies.)

This is how other Americans deal with us fucking up.

Move over, Wherry, we’re all coming north.
