Cidu Bill on Apr 20th 2008

  • The initial report released listed circumstantial evidence that was weak at best, leading to an interesting discussion of whether a jury should convict a defendant based on the firm belief that he’s guilty even if the evidence is lacking.The D.A. has now made public some significantly more persuasive evidence (updated article, and your comments)

The Irony of Ironic

My best guess is that we’re supposed to think Alanis Morissette has gotten the inspiration for “Ironic” (”It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife…”) but it turns out she’s somehow instead been inspired to write “Hand in My Pocket.”
 
Which is, I guess, at least by her definition, ironic.
