Sex workers in Sydney, Australia are preparing for a surge in business when the pope comes to town for World Catholic Youth Day. Wait. What?
Good post by Ilya Somin at the Volokh Conspiracy. Why don’t conservatives who complain about absent black fathers do something about the drug war?
Will California legalize all marijuana use? Man. If that passes, we may see a full scale federal invasion of the Sunshine State in the months between Election Day and when Bush leaves office.
Here’s a new one: Man shoots cop who broke into his home while dressed like a burglar.
Here’s some dirt on Susan Reed, the tough-on-crime San Antonio district attorney who’s prosecuting needle exchange volunteers even though they’re complying with state law. Turns out, she’s more than happy to exercise a little “prosecutorial discretion” when one of her son’s buddies runs afoul of the law. She also apparently recently took a flight using airline tick...

The national Innocence Project and the Mississippi Innocence Project have sent open records requests to every district attorney in the state of Mississippi.

Not one, but two scandals this week. Be interesting to see how it affects the voting for David Hernandez or Amanda Overmeyer. On to the show. It was 80s night last night. My live-ish review:
Luke Menard — Never sing a song that sent a contestant home early in previous years, particularly if you’re hanging by a thread yourself. Sang Wham’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” a really awful song that’s somehow fitting for this guy’s milquetoast on-stage pe...
