It occurs to me that we haven’t had any pandas lurking around this dump in quite a little while. Let’s see if we can fix that. Say hello, if you will, to Su Lin, who celebrated her first birthday this past August by being the very cutest panda in the last freaking forever. Nice gig if you can get it.

I usually combine gratuitous adorable ass panda pictures with the Fourth Amendment, but on the day our president proudly signed away the Writ of Habeas Corpus, the following passage from Article One of the United States Constitution seems more appropriate.

The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

Have any of you turkeys seen any rebellion or invasion recently, because I know I sure as hell haven’t. Faced with a similar situation, Charles Mingus would probably ask you to meditate on a pair of wire cutters. If I had any sense, I’d ask the same.
