As in Arizona, the new edict “allows police to arrest anyone suspected of being an illegal immigrant if the person is stopped... (Linked Saturday 2011-06-11.)

Swiss artist Corinne Vionnet creates art for her series "Photo Opportunities" by overlaying hundreds of tourist photos (she finds them online) on top of one another.

Cultural Authoritarianism Breeds Political Authoritarianism. Kevin Carson, Center for a Stateless Society (2010-09-24).

I believe this is a mistake.  Cultural authoritarianism — such as occurs in the family,... (Linked Wednesday 2010-10-13.)
