Operation Blank Slate

In my bookmarks, there is a folder called "to blog", and in there is a subfolder called "Kommentar" (comment) and you can find links in there that are very old. So,very much in the spirit of my recent post "Assorted Abstracts", I'll give you the links to stuff from around the web that at one point in the past I thought I had something interesting to say about, in the order in which I bookmarked them:

1. Washington Post: "In Baltimore, No One Left to Press the Police"

Fun exercise for regular readers: Guess what I would have said! I'll guess along. And should you party tonight, remember: (a) These days, most people have digital cameras on them (usually integrated in their mobile phones) and (b) there is this thing they don't call the World Wide Web for no reason. I may have said the same thing before, but never mind.
