Monks massacred, while US cops behave badly

So today has been quite the bummer.

A former intelligence officer for Burma's ruling junta is claiming that THOUSANDS of monks are being rounded up and massacred. You have to be pretty fucking low to kill monks. But now the world can wake up to this horror and do something. You know, like have the UN debate for a year about whether there should be a vote to issue a strongly worded reprimand.

You don't have to go to the exotic Far East to find authoritarian douchebaggery. Videotapes have caught Chicago cops brutally beating anyone and everyone. There is also proof of Chicago cops torturing African Americans into confessing crimes that put them on death row. And now, one special operations officer has been caught on tape planning a hit on another officer to keep him from becoming a witness against him.

My own backyard has its authority problems. This is an interesting (if long-winded) dispatch on New York City's surveillance explosion. It's got a sky-is-falling feel to it, and I don't think we're living Orwell's nightmare quite yet, but there are some startling data in there.

Worst of all, I have a piece of popcorn kernel wedged up in my gums. I hate that.
