This article in National Review the US' premier mainstream journal of the right wing blasts the entire head shop episode.

Hey, maybe those right-wingers aren't such fascists after all?

Garrett's piece was reminiscent of, but much shorter than, another first-hand account of this year's WEF, written by Jay Nordlinger of National Review, and which you can find in four parts: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV. I liked it, but then again, I'm a conservative Catholic ...

Tell that to the families that have lost mothers, fathers, children, aunts, and uncles to US foriegn policy. Tell the hundreds of Americans who still have family in Iraq that "history" doesn't matter. Has the US ever made a public apology or offered real long term support to make up for past crimes?

Very well-- lets listen to those Iraqi families. Almost every last Iraqi exile will tell you that we must remove Saddam. That is how we begin to repay the Iraqis. That is how we apologize. We don't do it by leaving him there to kill millions more. You've proved my point for me.

Back this up with real proof. I'm sure the US has proof, but in the interest of maintaining an edge in spying, the president probably decided not to reveal the information.

The burden of proof isn't on me. I'll give you some links to get you started- but this murdering, torturing, genocidal, chemical-weapons using madman has given the world plenty of proof of what he's done. the burden of proof is on those who would protect him-- on YOU. Here's the links: One Two Three That is on the WTC alone. Saddam OPENLY pays families of suicide bombers. Here's one on Salman Pak: Four I could go on forever. Clearly it is you who has not done enough reading. I've fulfilled a burden that wasn't even mine. Now you think we should protect a madman. You present your evidence.

If he was convincing, wouldn't the European nations given their support?

Actually, they all do, with the exception of France and Germany, who are trying to dominate Europe. And instead of just listening to other people, why don't you analyze the facts? If those guys are right, prove it. Don't just base your opinion on their authority. That is no more valid than me basing my opinion on George W. Bush's opinion alone. Chirac, by the way, is the only major world leader to be personal friends with Saddam, dating back to the days when he helped sell Saddam two nuclear reactors. He's also being investigated for corruption, and is only not being prosecuted because of immunity afforded by his office. The argument at the UN isn't about Iraq. They all know he is in violation of the terms of the resolution. This is about constraining US power.

The best way to win the war is to win the hearts and minds of Muslims and have them turn Saddam and Bin Laden in themselves

How about starting by promoting democracy in the region, giving the people political power and economic hope? How about removing these dictators bent on regional domination through WMD, who brutalize their populations and then conveniently blame the US and Jews to deflect criticism from themselves? How about stopping the torture and genocide practiced by Saddam? But you're not really interested in the people, if you were you'd advocate saving them from this monster. Why don't YOU read something instead of telling other people that you're more well-read than them in "philosophy" and "history". And although I asked that we keep this debate civil, every respondent has taken a cheap shot at President Bush. I can't take you guys seriously unless you show that you're interested in whether war is right or wrong-- instead of whether you're more well-read, sophisticated, and "subtle" than the President.

"A well spoken liberal thesis is interesting to read, but a lot of the crap they were slinging was along the lines of "conservatives are so stupid", something I'm not willing to pay for."

Yes, you're right... Only Conservatives are willing to pay for mindless crap such as calling all liberals stupid.

Yeah right I'm as likely to die by an asteroid as in a plane crash.
How many people were killed by asteroids in the last 20 years?
How many people were killed in pane crashes?
Oh what's that you say this isn't a fair assessment? Okay, let's do a real one:

My odds of dying in a plane crash are 1 in 500,000. But this isn't quite right because it's assuming I fly 100,000 miles a year, which I don't neither does most of the world. So this number should be lower. So assume this killer asteriod kills everyone: 6313622537 people. Since only 20 people died in the year 2000, we would need one asteriod to kill everyone on the planet every 315 million years. Maybe that's a reasonable time frame but, it's still a bullshit comparison because it assumes I'm going to live forever, unless killed by an asteroid. One must factor in the odds of me being alive when this asteriod actually hits, otherwise I'm not being killed by it am I? Say I live for 150 years (much longer than the average lifespan). If one factors in my limited lifespan, I am suddenly 4.8 x 10^-7 less likely to be killed by an asteriod, than to die in a plane crash.

The odds are so low that I may as well start getting worried about being run over by a Porsche driven by a zebra. Since:
My odds of being run over are 1 in 588.
Let's say one in every 5,000 cars is a porsche.
There are around 132,000,000 cars on the road.
Let's say there are 300,000 zebra on the face of the earth.
Finally, lets say only ten of them (circus zebra) know how to drive (10 in 300,000 odds).
Making a totally bullshit analysis, I find out that my odds are 2.58e-14 while my odds of being killed by an asteriod are 9.52e-13. Okay, so I'm a hundred or so times more likely to be killed by the asteriod, but what if I included all those bears that drive cars too? Surely the results would be terrifying.


This public service announcement has been brought to you by my unwillingness to write my DSP paper. Good night.

You want to talk about wolves guarding the henhouse? How many politicians used to be lawyers?

Worse, how many of them are trial lawyers, like Democrat presidential candidate Senator Edwards? These lawyers are so out of control that doctors are going on strike to protest the resulting six-figure malpractice insurance premiums. The loot from lawsuits bankrolls an awful lot of politicians, though, so I expect things to keep getting worse for quite a bit longer.

> why doesn't EuroDisney have fireworks? because every time they launch them the French try to surrender! (rim-shot)

One good bout of French-basing deserves another two (or three, or four...)

Going to war without the French is like a hunter going into the woods without his accordian.

Why did the French plant trees along the Champs Elysees? So Germans can march in the shade.

Some more jabs at the froggies:

I used to run a frequently updated humor website, and most of my traffic were people I knew from the Badassmofo.com forums and people they knew (this was a few years back, before "blogs" as such). This whole deal is really a word-of-mouth phenomenon based on people who trust the opinion of friends, a popular website, etc.

They deregulated the power companies in California...

No, they didn't . They just told you that they did.

If "deregulation" means less -- not more -- political control over an industry, then by no stretch of the imagination has the California electricity industry been "deregulated." First, the state forced the electricity companies to sell-off all their power plants to independent investors and become nothing but power distributors. Second, the state assumed total day-to-day control of the utilities' grid of wood and wire to make sure they couldn't abuse their market power. Third, the state required new owners of the divested power plants to sell their juice to a state managed "power pool," the sales price of which to be established by a daily spot market managed by -- you guessed it -- the state. Electricity companies that wished to compete for your business had to buy their electricity from this pool, and the price charged them was to equal the highest price received by any electricity generator in the daily state-managed spot market. Fourth, regardless of what they paid for the power in the wholesale market, no company can charge a consumer more than 6.5 cents per kilowatt hour until it has paid off its allotted share of the bailout the state gave the old incumbent electricity companies to embrace this new regulatory scheme...

This would require the purchase of aluminum powder, guaranteed visit by the BATF. I found that it just was not worth the possible hassle.

Where's the jurisdiction? Aluminum powder isn't alcohol, tobacco or firearms.

Isn't it odd that in a country where alcohol, tobacco and firearms are all legal, you need a special paramilitary force to keep tabs on them.

Thank goodness! This is the correct question that has been ignored by the "media" who invent budget 'cuts' during periods of actual increase.

Now, the simple answer is anything related to flight is quite expensive. Dollars increase exponentially in relation to altitude and speed. Space exploration has both components. Massive fixed costs, massive expendables costs, the need to keep a highly educated workforce around during "slow" times of low activity for that group, etc.

New technology can bring those costs down, but they are still incredibly expensive.

And, as with ANY government program, there is quite a bit of money-slop in there, plus a wacky attitude for budget execution to begin with.

Scientific endevours are an area that some Federalists and anti-Federalists have some agreement on, it IS an area that the government SHOULD be involved in.

The data show a clear downward trend under Clinton and an upward trend under Bush. They also shed light on today's spin cycle, and allegations that President Bush's announced $470 million increase for NASA in next year's budget is somehow unprecedented and therefore "political." As shown above, George W. Bush increased funding for NASA by roughly $900 million over a two-year period. By this standard a $470 million boost is right on target, and actually smaller than the increase of 2001 into 2002.

Yes, it is a very telling bit on the french military. It is also archived here and the top link on this page. Obviously a well respected and widespread view with true historians.

Interesting to note this article:The GOP of Lincoln (Chafee). The Greatest Title Never Used. A little language-rasslin'. And more where Brazil is now restricting print speech to eliminate "foreign" words. That bit is way down near the middle.

Lots of other goodies in that column too that go along with this story and the objections some have to US media even reporting election coverage.

Objections to Freedom of the Press on /.? No way!

I especially like the bits about how the US media defines "left leaning" politicians.

Steve Forbes (probably the most visible supply-sider around these days) is always talking about the stupidity of the IMF, most recently:

The IMF, with its lethal prescriptions of devaluing currencies and raising taxes, continues to wreak havoc around the developing world. Turkey--critical because it is a pro-American, secular Muslim nation whose help we need in the war on terror--is writhing under the IMF's economic treatments. So is Brazil.

The IMF Has Lost Its Way by Stephen Hanke makes a solid case for killing the IMF.

Why the IMF and World Bank survive is beyond me. I'm not hopeful that anything will change in the near term, given that Bush picked a Goldman Sachs alum to be his economic advisor, against the wishes of supply-siders, likely in part to smooth things over with the opposition Democrats (Goldman Sachs is an overwhelmingly Democrat company, Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin came from there, as did current New Jersey Senator Jon Corzine). Hopefully I'm wrong about this.

Note that an American is never appointed to head the IMF. Usually a European gets the job, never mind that America puts up the largest share of funding. I don't know why we let them get away with this.

The entire article is in National Review.

Whoâ(TM)s Right on Second?
Living, breathing decisions.

Unfortunately, my government tends to "follow the leader" as well. But every now and then we get the impression that they feel the same way. Unforunately, as soon as such comments are made, they get stomped on... but perhaps it's a start to standing up and saying how we actually feel.

Seems to me that even a lot of the American population on slashdot realized Bush's lack of intelligence in many areas, and that 9-11, while tragic, was a foreseeable situation.

liberal

Be careful how you use that word. The popular use of it tends to refer to the Democrats. That's just plain wrong.

Liberal in its stricter sense refers to a Libertarian belief (e.g. free market, individual rights, small government). The article in question does actually fit this defintion of liberal, but actually some of the others do too. See this article if you don't believe me.

Democrats are not liberals they are socialists in disguise.

I normally avoid the National Review out of distaste for overly-conservative ranting, but on a chance I went to their front page after reading this article, and found:

Keeping Libertarians Inside the Tent

It's an article about how Republicans could keep the Libertarian vote if they'd actually stay consistent in their messages about small government, personal liberty, and strict constructionism. He makes the good point that Republicans only seem to support these issues when it suits them - for example, states rights when it comes to rolling back environmental laws or abortion protections, but not when it comes to euthanasia or drug laws. This is exactly what I've been thinking for a while.

Of course, I was quickly re-disgusted by reading the praise for Reagan's War on the same site, with glowing quotes from Caspar Weinberger among others. And it turned out that the Libertarian article came from the Cato Institute rather than the National Review. But for a minute they had me :)

Sad, but impressive research. 14% appeared to be the most widely-reported, but I see "forfty-five," too -- where's the official transcript (is your tape subtitled)?!? One-third of Simpsons fans might worry about this, but the other three-quarters wouldn't.

This proves the internet is just a giant game of telephone.

By Google happenstance, here's The National Review's take on the show -- and they're amused. Not a journal I normally associate with friendly mirth, but I guess The Simpsons brings us all together. Couldn't resist sharing.

• A home page with an extra list item.
  
  Where does it take me? To URL not found.
  
• This article is a disturbing manifesto of hate and distrust. He has a paraniod conviction that people are evil and stupid. He talks about "round ups" and demonstrates a thorough lack of understanding of mob psychology, stoping just short of recomending punishment and death to an entire class of people. He questions the ability of human intleligence to prevent the evil things stupid people wish to do and seeks protection by machines. It's hard to imagine a computer science professor not understanding that computers only do as they are told, but he seems to trust Microsoft. I have not read a more disturbing statement of hatred since reading Hitler. Hitler was coherent by comparison.
  
• Back on topic is good for the man. He's obviously offbase elswhere. And again we have the first two links broken. Hupfer, the third link, at least uses device independent file formats. Cool, then you read it. Snore, "we are just beginning.."
  

OK, I've had enough. This fellow might develop some interesting replacement for Clippy, but it looks like hype hype hype from 1992 thus far. Dave's paranoia would do him some good when dealing with M$.

"just in time for another unnecessary war against another dictator it imposed and now sees fit to blow up!"

Taken from http://www.nationalreview.com/goldberg/goldberg100 102.asp

"WE HELPED SADDAM IN THE 1980S/WE IGNORED HIS GASSING KURDS

The simple response to all arguments along these lines is: "So what?" Even if were wrong to support Saddam (or the Taliban, etc.), does that mean we should stick to the wrong policy for consistency's sake? According to this view we should have turned a blind eye to the Holocaust because we'd turned a blind eye to the events that led up to the Holocaust. This is a byproduct of a culture which considers hypocrisy a greater crime than, well, real crimes. We've supported lots of bad characters in the past, for reasons which, in fairness, need to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. Al Qaeda, for example, may be some blowback from our support of the mujahedeen in the 1980s -- but that doesn't mean we were wrong to support the mujahedeen. There was a Cold War going on, after all. And even if we were wrong, how does that excuse al Qaeda for 9/11? Blaming America first may feel good, but it hardly absolves the bad guys for their actions, any more than slavery justifies a black guy murdering a 7-Eleven clerk. Even if you stipulate that we did wrong before, does that mean we shouldn't do right now? Antiwar types throw around these non sequitors as if the implied hypocrisy settles the current argument, when all it does is imply hypocrisy."

Just for fun, you can see a few of the 9/11 terrorist's visa applications. Judging by these, you'd *really* have to screw up your filing to be denied.

Here's one link

Yes, that is what I am denying. If you've actually seen the backdrop, you'd realize that it doesn't specifically cover the statue -- it's a standard aluminum-tubing-and-curtain blue screen placed behind the podium when a press conference is given.

Snopes.com, the indispensable Urban Legends reference site, has some discussion of the matter here, and here's Jay Nordlinger on the subject, from this article in National Review:

The war aside, this AG has been swimming in bad raps. Maybe the baddest of them all has been Breastgate. Surely you are familiar with the statues that live in the Great Hall of the Justice Department: the Spirit of Justice (a lady) and the Majesty of Law (a gent). (Spirit has a nickname, by the way: Minnie Lou.) Because these statues are partially nude, they are noticed only during conservative Republican administrations. Minnie Lou and her one exposed breast became famous when photographers gleefully took their picture with Ed Meese, as he announced President Reagan's report on pornography back in the mid 1980s. The presence of the Breast was thought to have "stepped on" the administration's "message." Washington liberals are still yukking about that one today.

The Breast was pretty quiet during the eight years of Janet Reno. As one peeved administration official puts it, "No cameraman was ever at Reno's feet, trying to get a shot of her with that thing." But Minnie Lou's outstanding feature stormed back with Ashcroft. When President Bush visited the Justice Department to rededicate the building to Robert Kennedy, his advance men insisted on a nice blue backdrop: "TV blue," infinitely preferable to the usual dingy background of the Great Hall. Everyone thought the backdrop worked nicely . made for "good visuals," as they say. This was Deaverism, pure and simple. Ashcroft's people intended to keep using it.

An advance woman on his team had the bright idea of buying the backdrop: It would be cheaper than renting it repeatedly. So she did . without Ashcroft's knowledge, without his permission, without his caring, everyone in the department insists.

But ABC put out the story that Ashcroft, the old prude, had wanted the Breast covered up, so much did it offend his churchly sensibilities. New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, ever clever, wrote that Ashcroft had forced a "blue burka" on Minnie Lou. Comedians had a field day (and are still having it). The Washington Post has devoted great space to the story, letting Cher, for example, tee off on it . as she went on to do on David Letterman's show.

And yet the story is complete and total bunk. First, Ashcroft had nothing to do with the purchase of the backdrop. Second, the backdrop had nothing to do with Breast aversion. But the story was just "too good to check," as we say, and it will probably live forever. Generations from now, if we're reading about John Ashcroft, we will read that he was the boob who draped the Boob. The story is ineffaceable.

I think to myself at times and wonder if I am racist myself. What is telling is that I have no afro-americans in my circle of friends; this could be because I don't like them, or it could be because I have lived in neighborhoods without too many afro-americans. In addition, I don't go for black chicks. I find most other races attractive, with the notable exception of Asian women. I find some white women attractive, some southern europian women attractive, some latina women attractive, some native americans attractive, a few indian women attractive, and some arabic women attractive.

I also was taught as a kid that Black people are less intelligent and stronger than other races. I also have been given the impression that black people are more savage: They are more predisposed to commit crimes, spray graffiti, and engage in other antisocial behavior.

Now, how well this reflects reality is open to debate. When the driving when colored debate was going on (a debate where people were critizing police for pulling more afro-americans over then people of other races), I was thinking that, if police were going to profile the races of people they choose to pull over, we should also have public data where we see what percentage of crimes are committed by what races compared to the population of that race in a given neighborhood.

When went to a university in a section of towns where students were in constant fear of being mugged, the perception was that it was afro-americans committing all of the muggings cauing the neighborhood to go to hell; however everyone was too "politically correct" to say this out loud (the joy of being anonymous on Slashdot).

Honestly, I do not know how much reality this perception that black people commit a majority of the crimes has with reality. If we look at arrest statistics, that may not be accurate because policeman have this racist perception, causing them to arrest more black people. What needs to be done is to study people who report violent assualts being done against them, and see what the rce of the assualter is compared to the population of the race in question in the neighborhood. I know that when a black person assualts a white person, the race sticks out in my mind; when a white (or latino) person assulats a white person, the race is less likely to be remembered.

National Review , as expected says that the reason more black people are in prison than in college is because more black people committ criminal acts. Maybe people become like this when their culture and society was destroyed, such as when the blacks were forcibly taken out of Africa in to the US to become slaves.

This is a very complicated and emotionally charged issue; and one that people can not openly discuss because of our society's overzealous political correctness.

I would to remind everyone that it is the 10 year aniversary of Ruby Ridge. The U.S. Government can and will take your P2P software away if it wants and if you resist...you are dead!!!

BLAM! Oops! That fancy MP3 player looked like a gun to me.

Serious question: What if the first time you see a gun outside a museum and not in the possession of police/security is when you are looking down the barrel of one in the hand of a criminal? Do you think you'd wish your country had more gun control (which obviously didn't keep this gun away from a criminal) or less (so that you could have your own for self-defense)?

Hypothetical, but compelling.

• Gun crimes soaring despite ban brought in following Dunblane
• A world without guns is not a pretty picture
• Gun-toting Swiss see fewer crimes
• Too many guns?
• Handgun Ban Fails to Quell Surge in Gun Crimes Across Britain
• When guns are banned in England
• Ivy League research says Anti-gun Crackdown Didn't Lower Crime

I have more, but that's probably enough.

Well, the TIPS (Terrorism Information and Prevention System) program is recruiting meter readers, and may recruit postal workers now that the USPS, which initially balked, is considering it

Now, I betcha' your meter reader -- or postman -- could be persuaded, in the interests of national security, of course, to lend his uniform and id to a gent who knows how to install a covert sattelite phone with a big sensitive microphone. Who knows how to hide it behind your meter, perhaps.

Maybe they'll slap a quick metal patch over it, maybe they'll slid it under the siding on your house, but it'll real inaccesable, as they'll know it's gonna be powered for 90 years on that pinch of plutonium.

"When an official of WorldCom reports that he could see nothing wrong, let alone unusual about classifying moneys dispensed as capitalized expenditures when in fact they were moneys spent in doing business, the question arises: Can that man see anything as wrong? And if so, does he emerge as simply one criminal practitioner, or is he a member of a class newly acceptable in American business?"

OK, let's go through the procedure that protects us from the valid concern in your last paragraph, and then we'll look at sources. Were this simply a case of `anyone declared an enemy of the state can be turned over to the military', you would be quite right to object, but that is not the case.

Long standing precedent, going back to before the war of 1812, and with corresponding cases in the Civil War and the Second World War makes clear that military law is the proper jurisdiction for trying cases of an individual entering the US in the service of a hostile power in order to commit acts of law. As cited above, Ex Parte Quirin upholds the established precedent that such cases are a matter for military justice even if the suspect is a US citizen, but also leaves room for civilian court appeals of the decision that a case falls in this category.

Mr. al-Muhajir, ne Padilla, is filing just such an appeal right now.here in New York. If the court rules that there is not valid evidence to classify him as an enemy combatant, he will be remanded to a civilian court. At that point, the DOJ can either seek to bring other charges, or release him.

So this is not something which can happen lightly. In addition to the direct order from the president which is needed to classify a suspect as an enemy combatant, the whole process is subject to judicial review in the normal federal courts.

Now, on to sources. Here are some more articles on the matter:

• this piece from Newsday
• suggests that Mr. al-Muhajir was held on a material witness warrant before being charged.
• this piece from the Baltimore Sun discusses some of the precedents in the case, and what the government's options are, as does this piece from National Review.
• this piece from USA Today has some more discussion of the case.

I think this just shows the bankrupcy of `slippery slope' arguments. As Jonah Goldberg likes to point out, we as a nation have been walking up slippery slopes for over 200 years, a fact which makes it hard to argue with a straight face that banning child pornography would inexorably lead to banning adult pornography or anything else.

So, I think you have to argue the case on its merits, not use a claim that banning child porn would put us on a `slippery slope'.

It might have been more impressive if it wasn't copied. Compare the comment to this article.

Plagerism

With due respect, I suggest you read more about Mr. al-Mujahir's case. In particular, Mr. al-Mujahir did retain a lawyer while in custody in New York, and waived his opportunity to contest being transferred to military jurisdiction. He still may well contest this transfer at a later date.

As for the constitutional precedent for trying US citizens entering the US as part of an act of war by a foreign power in military jurisdiction, this goes back to the earliest days of our Republic, with case-law precedents in the early nineteenth century, the Civil War, and the Second World War.

With due respect, I suggest you read more about Mr. al-Mujahir's case before you start drawing wild conclusions.

In particular, Mr. al-Mujahir had a lawyer while he was being held in New York, and waived the opportunity to contest being transferred to military jurisdiction. He is more than welcome to contest this transfer if a later date if he wishes to. Likewise, your claim that this case was kept secret is simply false. It is certainly true that the media became more interested in Mr. al-Mujahir's case when the larger charges of attempting to explode a dirty nuclear device in the US were added to his case, but his detention was a matter of public record at all times.

As for Mr. al-Mujahir being subject to military jurisdiction, the precedent for trying US citizens caught entering the nation as an act of war on behalf of a foreign power dates back to the earliest days of this nations' history, with cases in the early nineteenth century, the Civil war, and the Second World War.

A government that holds its own citizens indefinitely without charges on the brig of a ship in South Carolina because of a supposed plot to set off a "dirty bomb" in D.C., despite Constitutional requirements for due process, is what I call an authoritarian regime.

With due respect, leaving aside the fact that we have not even reached the 48 hour point, Mr. al-Mujahir had a lawyer in New York, and did not choose to contest his transfer to military jurisdiction (he may choose to contest this later).

At any rate, that a US citizen caught entering the nation as part of an act of war can be tried in military jurisdiction is a clearly established constitutional precedent, with case law dating back to the early nineteenth century, the Civil War, and World War II. So, as I said, `I do not think it means what you think it means'.

Too bad Mr. Ashcroft never said anything of the sort (and I welcome you to look for a cite). It's a shame that a PR aide deciding to put a plain-color background behind the AG when he speaks for the cameras is not as exciting as the version of the story you've come up with, but that's life...

Indeed, after reading news reports over the last few years, I've grown weary of the much-overused "senior administration official" or other source-naming cop-outs. It seems like half of what we're supposed to take seriously in the news media is anonymously spoken. I hate it on several fronts, the two most important being the requisite level of trust we must have in order to believe these vindictive and lying bastards and the distressing conclusion that far too many people in positions of power would rather speak their mind from the shadows rather than be honest and open about it. Yeah, there are occasions when source secrecy is very important and essential to the story being reported...but it's gone way, way too far.

As for the opinons of some who believe weblogs don't create news, I totally disagree. See the current turmoil created by Eric Alterman's recent foray into blogging (after commenting on the phenomenon negatively for some time), the community of readers who disseminate and discuss what Mickey Kaus and Glenn Reynolds have to say, Andrew Sullivan's staunch stance on the Catholic scandals, the rise of the American Prospect's and National Review's reporting and commentary and other cases where the bloggers themselves created news by commenting on something else. And let's be honest here, just because the news they created wasn't reported on by the AP or UPI and didn't make Nightline or Good Morning America doesn't lessen its news status, for it is news to the community they are part of.
