"...Five Miles South Of The Canadian Border, Twelve Miles West Of The State Line..."

Via Sbp and Moviehole the news that Twin Peaks season two, which I still consider one of the best TV dramas yet made, is finally to be released on DVD later this year. Entirely by coincidence I started watching my box set of season 1 last night as I'm currently more in the mood for that than continuing to make my slow way through the complete Buffy box set. And it all comes flooding back...

Animaniacs volume 1 is out next month as well hurrah.

Assymetrical Warfare

I've been arguing about the cretinous description of three Guantanamo detainees killing themselves as "assymetrical warfare" elsewhere rather than here: the Fafblog engages with the notion as only it can...

they only committed suicide as part of a diabolical ruse to trick the world into thinking our secret torture camp is the kind of secret torture camp that drives its prisoners to commit suicide! This fiendish attempt to slander the great American institution of the gulag is nothing less than an act of asymmetrical warfare against the United States - a noose is just a suicide bomb with a very small blast radius, people! - and when faced with a terrorist attack, America must respond. Giblets demands immediate retaliatory airstrikes on depressed Muslim torture victims throughout the mideast!

Quite.
