So I've been transferring old files from my email server, and came across some amusing quotes from 3 years ago that were in my .plan and .projects.

( Amusing quotes from 2002 )

On Time Magazine'sdecision to disclose the source in the Plame case:

"The decision by a major news organization to disclose the identities of its confidential sources appears to be without precedent in living memory."

The Times, meanwhile, is eagerly anticipating the chance for heroic journalistic martyrdom.

It's an interesting issue, and one where I don't have a whole lot of stake. I mean, the person who's being protected here is guilty of treason against the U.S. government, not to mention nasty vengeance tactics. OTOH, protections for the press are important.

So, I've devoted a few brain cells today to trying to figure out what else Spain, Canada, Holland,
Massachusetts, and Belgium have in common.

The best I'm coming up with so far is good mussels and other shellfish.

Gay Marriage! And Hot Mussels!

Sounds like a good t-shirt slogan to me...

Anybody have a better idea? I've eliminated geography, religion, artistic style, weather, potato products...
