Barbarism Begins at Home

Their Sherlock comes across as mildly autistic, lacking any real social skills, but having an incredible eye for details, and still is as arrogant and egocentric as the original character. Gone is the pipe and in are nicotine patches. Gone is the hat and in is a pea coat and scarf. If you were to compare the Sherlock portrayed here to any other character from another recent police procedural, it would be Dexter Morgan.

Sherlock will air in the US on PBS’s Masterpiece Mystery starting October 24 and it really is worth your time.

Robyn, “Don’t Fucking Tell Me What To Do” (Mylo & Sharooz Mix, 2010).

Just how perverse is the Obama administration’s assassination program is reflected in the rights Awlaki is forced to assert. He alleges — as the Complaint puts it — that the Government is violating his “Fifth Amendment Right Not to be Deprived of Life Without Due Process.” Just re-read that and contemplate that in Barack Obama’s America, that right even needs to be contested. The Complaint also alleges that using lethal force against a U.S. citizen in these circumstances violates the Fourth Amendment’s guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizure, and also violates the Alien Tort Statute, which bars “extrajudicial killings.” Reading Awlaki’s Brief in support of his request for injunctive relief is almost surreal, as one witnesses an American citizen try to convince a federal court to stop the Government from trying — far away from a battlefield and without any violence used to resist apprehension — to murder him without due process[.]
