Thought of the day - At least I don't have to fear identity theft.  Anybody who got a hold of my credit record couldn't make anything out of it anyway...
I guess that is one advantage of being a freelancer with late to pay clients.

Aloha to Death Row.

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/17/national/17peterson.html is an interesting NY Times story because it features Laci Peterson's stepfather in a Hawaiian shirt talking about Scott's trip to Death Row. One does not see that ever day. The article also contains

In a wrenching display toward the end of the hearing, Ms. Peterson's mother, Sharon Rocha, assumed the roles of her daughter and the grandchild that was never born, pleading aloud in a trembling voice for "Daddy" not to kill "Mommy and me."

Assuming the role of a cerebral palsy baby was one of John Edwards's favorite courtroom tricks. Perhaps this will be commonplace now.

So - was this a court room or a angry therapy session?  Where is THIS guaranteed in the Constitution? And, didn't these people get more than their obligatory 15 minutes in the spotlight? Enough already with the projections of our evilness onto this guy.  I'm surprised Orpah didn't show.
