I hope this version ends in an orgy of blood. Rabbits are tasty, little ungulate!

Short version: The lion cub was taken from the mother after the mother killed the rest of the litter. In an effort to socialise the cub properly, they put in a Mastiff puppy.

Charlie Stross makes post-of-the-day with Two Minute Hate:

Ah. So the details of last week's horrendous "worse than 9/11" conspiracy are now coming out piecemeal.

It appears that none of the conspirators had assembled any bombs or bought plane tickets. Several of them didn't even have passports, making it rather unlikely that they'd be able to smuggle an imaginary bomb onto an imaginary flight.

And they'd been under surveillance for up to a year before the sudden arrests, prompted by the confession of one man who "broke under interrogation" in Pakistan, a country notorious for torturing confessions out of prisoners.

(This rubbish is used as the basis for mass arrests and a huge security clampdown that results in close to 30% of all commercial flights in/out of British airports being cancelled for a week.)

Meanwhile, our glorious Home Secretary, John Reid, is saying "people don't get it" and that he's going to introduce a new anti-terrorism bill into parliament in the next session.

I'm afraid some of us do "get it". And we're not impressed.

Anyone got a photograph of Emmanuel Goldstein for me to link to?

Gee, an entire, complete conspiracy, with no physical evidence, based on confession obtained through torture? And that's good enough to arrest a whole lot of people and try to never let them see the inside ofa courtroom, and inconvenience the rest of the planet in the name of controlling them?

I'm cooking with habaneros!

This recipe, for the record, is awesome. Very tasty.

Bush invokes Eminent Domain to make a giant cross into federal property, and so invalidate claims that its presence and maintenance are a violation of the separation of church and state by the CITY government.

From the Moonie Times - they always lead more towards truthiness than facts, so take their version of events as you will.

Speaking of the idiot and his chosen people, "faith-based funding" means that non-Christians need not apply for jobs in social work.
