It was moving week, so many of the weekly specials here in the shebeen were not available. Apologies to all you regulars and to Friedman of the Plains. I’m sure Oklahoma will keep being crazy for another week. Regular hours will resume on Monday.
However, there was one development that caught my eye as being worthy of comment while I drifted off to sleep amid my many boxes. (See: George Carlin on Stuff.) The Department of Justice cut a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused “mastermind” of the 9/11 attacks. The government agreed not to kill him and two of his fellow defendants. In return, I suspect he will spend his life in twenty-four-hour lockdown in delightful Florence, Colorado.
