Fade: Clinton, Bush.

The difference is just one person.

At least a half a million people are dead because I can't write Clinton, Gore.

One person can make a very big difference.

Ken Macleod, I'm talking to you.

C. Wingate @ #194: I certainly don't count the Rama sequels as canon because a) Clarke didn't write them, and b) they suck so hard that they emit Hawking radiation.

I remember seeing a reporter on SKY saying on Saturday, 3 days after the arrests, that none of the suspects had been questioned yet at all, but that's not in the Web report now. This response from police to questions on the subject still is:

Assistant Chief Constable David Shaw said a number of procedures had to be completed before formal interviews could take place. "Far better that we use a measured, calculated, meticulous response than rush into things," he told reporters.

This is the same force which can keep "suspects" for up to 28 days with a judges approval. They'd like the power to hold people for 90 days without charge.

retterson at #43, there's plenty of evidence of campaign dirty tricks co-ordinated nationally by the RNC in this election: just read the last few days worth of talkingpointsmemo. Not just dirty but downright illegal, as in "ongoing FBI investigations". Josh Marshall over there has another suggestion for what GOP stands for: Grand Old Police-Blotter.

Do you have evidence of co-ordinated dirty tricks by Democrats? *Any* evidence of Democratic dirty tricks at all in this election?

I love Ms. Brandewyne's name, it suggests whole realms of possible pen names. I shall be Gwathló Lune, or perhaps Ringló Morthond.
