Read. This. Now.

Here are some examples of what not to write on your resume.

The U.S. Supreme Court certainly has been busy this past little while. Last week it was decided that it was cruel and unusual for “retarded” persons to receive the death penalty after they have been convicted of a killing. Today, they ruled that judges alone cannot decide a death sentence, as that violates [...]

Jer, you’re going to love this one. It’s an article calling for more government intervention in online privacy issues. A couple of excerpts:

In their defense, Brilliant and many other companies have been forced to experiment with new business strategies to survive the dot-com bust. The post-apocalyptic shakeout has drastically reduced the number of [...]

Want to know what happens to people after the suicide bomb goes off? MSNBC has an inside perspective on a Jerusalem trauma ward.

What a pity this guy didn’t study more Israeli/Palestinian history. The following were printed in The Guardian today:

The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is impossible to understand within the framework of a simplistic victim/perpetrator dichotomy; each side belongs simultaneously in both categories.

Ted Turner said basically the same thing, and he was wrong, too.

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend reading Amish Tech Support’s thought experiment vis-?-vis the bus suicide bombing in Israel earlier this week.

Split Supreme Court decision regarding execution of “mentally retarded” killers reverses 1989 decision on the constitutionality of the process. Thoughts?

And if that wasn’t enough… In the wake of two suicide bombings in two days, the EU will now release $17.7 million to the Palestinian Authority. But don’t worry, they’re going to demand “full transparency”. Does that mean that they’ll ask nicely that Arafat doesn’t put the money in his own personal [...]

Reactions to Nickleodeon’s show on gay parenting (My Family is Different) has been mixed (obviously), but this article from The New Republic has one of the best quotes I’ve seen on the issue:

…[W]hile journalists have a right (an obligation, even) to champion the virtues of tolerance towards gays, they should also recognize that [...]
