Well, here we go...an amateur photographer was arrested and harrassed by the Denver police and Secret Service for...drumroll please...get this...taking pictures in a public area where VP Cheney was staying. All in the name of the bogus "USA Patriot Act". Read the story here.

Topic #2 - I saw an excellent documentary on HBO last night. It is called Lalee's Kin: The Legacy of Cotton about poverty and its effects on education in the Mississippi Delta. The film is by Maysles Films, Inc., who have made such films as Gimme Shelter, Grey Gardens, and Salesman. Anyhow, it is an excellent film and I recommend it highly, along with the other three that I mentioned.
