A U.N. tribunal has extended the sentence of a priest to life in prison after upholding his war crimes conviction for ordering militiamen to burn and bulldoze a church with 1,500 people inside during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Because he was black! On trial, accused of eating UN Troops Because they are black!

Dems 2008: The Wright stuff [Karl]
Given the buzz about the latest remarks from Barack Obama’s spiritual adviser (and a member of Obama’s African American Religious Leadership Committee), the Rev. Jeremiah Wright — that blacks should damn America and that the US was resposnible for 9/11 (of which the Politico has video) — I thought it would be useful to highlight past PW posts on Wright. Dan Collins flagged a YouTube clip of another of Rev. Wright’s
Sympathy for Semanticleo [Dan Collins]
He’s been asking us to drop the Spitzer stuff and pay attention to other things, so I figured that, for a change of pace, we could go back to bashing John Kerry.

Teh Love Song of Eliot Spitzcock [Dan Collins; UPDATED]
A Per-Verse Fragment (please add your own): LET us go then, you and I, When the evening spreads its legs upon the sky Like a harlot penetrated in a stable; Let us go, through certain hifalutin’ streets, The puttering retreats Of restless nights in high-class swank hotels And five-star restaurants with pastry-shells: Streets that follow like a tendentious argument Of insidious intent To lead you to an underwhelming question …
Dems 2008: Every picture tells a story [Karl]
For whatever reason, today’s New York Times story on the latest round of identity politics in the campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination leads with an AP photo that does not directly relate to the story, but is interesting in its own right. The caption for the photo reads: Barack Obama at a news conference on Wednesday in Chicago with retired generals and admirals who endorsed his candidacy. He was responding to
Cleaning up some Spitzer residue [Karl]
University of Colorado Law Prof. Paul Campos is among those sporting the tinfoil deerstalker with regard to the investigation of NY Gov-until-Monday Eliot Spitzer’s finances: It’s a violation of the relevant statute to structure multiple cash transactions with the intent of avoiding the $10,000 automatic reporting requirement (by, for example, depositing $5,000 on the same day with two different banks), but it’s quite unclear whether whatever Spitzer did would normally lead to
My Take on the Hooker [Dan Collins]
I agree that she’s cute. She looks kinda like a young Kato Kaelin in drag. Apparently, she was in the middle range of diamond options on the Emperors Club menu, so at least give Spitz props for not being a spendthrift. WSJ sent me this today, in place of Taranto: “It’s not just schadenfreude — Spitzer’s foes reveling in his suffering. It’s that Spitzer became governor largely thanks to his
