Pakistani sentenced to death for blasphemy

mardi 13 juin 2017 à 02:00

A Pakistani man has been sentenced to death for a statement that supposedly insulted Muhammad. I wonder what he actually said. Can anyone send me an English translation? If you encrypt it to my GPG key (stallman.org/gpg.html), and mine alone, and put something irrelevant in the Subject field, no one in Pakistan will be able to tell what you sent me.

People should stay away from Pakistan except for vital humanitarian missions.

The troll and Comey

The troll could commit a crime if he keeps trying to punish or intimidate Comey.

Self-inspecting chicken processing

mardi 13 juin 2017 à 02:00

Chicken processing companies claim that their own inspections will maintain safety better than government-run inspections. But they evidently are not confident of this statement, since they want the fact that they run their own inspections to be secret.

I think that the US government is putting the fox in charge of our hen house. Note that this started under Obama. While he wasn't a bully and a bigot like the troll, he was no great shakes for defending people against abuses by businesses. I am proud not to have voted for him.

Delaware and abortion

mardi 13 juin 2017 à 02:00

Delaware has repealed all state-level restrictions on abortion, including allowing teenage women to get abortions without anyone else's approval.

Evicting families in Flint

mardi 13 juin 2017 à 02:00

Thousands of families in Flint are threatened with eviction because they can't afford the high prices charged for water that made them sick.

This is what Republicans do when they get a chance. It was Governor Synder and Michigan Republicans that imposed a non-accountable government of occupation on Flint, and the occupation officials poisoned the water to save money. Now they plan to make families homeless to save money.
