"TULE RIVER INDIAN RESERVATION -- Local, state and federal law enforcement officials on Monday finished cutting down a marijuana garden worth an estimated $289 million that agents discovered last week in a remote location along steep hills here.
"This is perhaps the largest garden in the state this year, if not in history," said Tulare County sheriff's Lt. Donna Perry.
When agents finished counting about 4 p.m. Monday, they had cut down 72,321 plants. The discovery nearly doubled the total number seized in the county so far this year."via lastonespeaks

rush to judgement
"Limbaugh’s own mother remarked on his somewhat passive-aggressive reticence as a child. Little Rush was “very quiet,” his mother, Millie, told the Southeast Missourian, a newspaper. At Halloween, “he really didn’t care much for trick or treating. He would rather stay at home. I found he was upstairs and he’d have water balloons. Sometimes when the little children would leave, he would drop them down."

"Cambridge, Mass: Oct. 5, 2003…. “I came here to get an idea of how we can do this,” said Len Apcar, Editor-in-Chief of the New York Times on the Web. The “this” was the form we’re gathered in now, the modern weblog. Like hundreds of others, Apcar had come to Blogger.con, a conference featuring leading webloggers, front line troops, and assorted apostles, put on by the Berkman Center for the Internet and Society at Harvard Law School. It ended today."

"But a far more devastating criticism of theory can be launched. Cultural theory as we have it promises to grapple with some fundamental problems, but on the whole fails to deliver. It has been shamefaced about morality and metaphysics, embarrassed about love, biology, religion and revolution, largely silent about evil, reticent about death and suffering, dogmatic about essences, universals and foundations, and superficial about truth, objectivity and disinterestedness. This, on any estimate, is rather a large slice of human existence to fall down on. It is also rather an awkward moment in history to find oneself with little or nothing to say about such fundamental questions."
