Francisco Franco’s dictatorship.
In the Spanish capital, demonstrators waved posters...
Spain Protests Against Franco-Era Immunity →
Fuck you very much, Reuters and The New York Times, but the core of the red hot anger of the protest is that the Supreme Court of Spain has been doing disgustingly dirty shit to prosecute Baltasar Garzon, the judge who tried to prosecute Pinochet, among other acheivements. Far right elements brought a case against Garzon, accusing him of “an assault on judicial independence”. One of...
should I join Twitter?
sheilamcclear:
I hate Twitter, but I’m afraid not to join it. Everyone else at work is on it. I’m afraid of becoming incredibly lame posting things like, “bleeding from my eardrum—that normal?” or “running to a meeting! yipes! :) :)”
Post something….YOU like…once a day. And stick to that.

– Noted, Meghan McArdle. But maybe it’s worth considering that “spending life alone” and “spending life unmarried” are not the same thing? Also, what is meant by “better?”
I appreciated McArdle’s candor in this blog post, though, especially here:

An Injustice in Spain →
Judge Baltasar Garzón, who over the last 15 years has attempted to prosecute Pinochet, has defended the rights of families of the “disappeared” in Chile and Argentina, and has agressively defended the Historic Memory Law in Spain so that families of Civil War victims can recover the bodies of their loved ones, will soon find himself on trial at the hands of far right elements in the...
