Link Dump

Not much energy this morning -- I'm just sort of drained from the past couple of weeks. (Gods! How did I ever manage working 60 hours a week? I can't even do 40 these days without it showing.)

At any rate, some stories/posts that deserve your attention:

Another Proposition

Via Andrew Sullivan, news about another proposition on the California ballot. Worth a "yes" vote, I'd say.

Good News

This one's around: over 125,000 lowland gorillas discovered in previously unexamined territory.

Hamdan

This post from Davenoon at LG&M sort of summarizes the whole mess that the trial of Salim Hamdan typifies: our legal system is a shambles, we have no moral authority left, and everything this administration has done in the "war on terror" it has created has backfired badly. Heckuva job, fellas.
